The Hillsborough Police Department recently arrested and charged a man with attempted first-degree murder in connection to a stabbing Wednesday night.
A release from the office said police responded to a call at 10:30 p.m. from 200 Cheshire Drive regarding a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, officers found one victim lying on the ground with multiple stab wounds. Hillsborough’s release said police began rendering aid to the person before EMS arrived and transported them to UNC Hospitals.
Police said upon further investigation, officers learned the victim was stabbed several times in the torso by 35-year-old Brandon Lee Jacobs. Jacobs then exited the residence and crashed his vehicle through the front door, further injuring the victim.
Thursday’s release said the victim is currently in stable condition.
In addition to the attempted murder charge, Jacobs also faces assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and injury to real property charges. The Hillsborough resident is being held in the Orange County jail under a $500,000 secured bond.
