Barricaded Subject on NW Lance Way

On July 20, 2024, at approximately 7:53 am Corvallis Police Officers were dispatched to 2052 NW Lance Way for a report of an armed barricaded convicted felon in the garage who was making threatening statements related to a pending jail sentence. The family left the residence and called the police. 

Corvallis Police officers arrived and created a perimeter to contain the situation. The community was notified to avoid the area via Nixle and the community immediately proximate to the address was provided additional instruction via electronic notice.  

The Oregon State Police was notified, and their SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) team responded to assist. Personnel from the Corvallis Police Department aided by Benton County Sheriff’s Office and Oregon State Police contacted residents in the homes adjacent to the subject property in person to conduct evacuations. 

Contact was made through an Oregon State Police negotiator, and at approximately 1:21 pm, 27- year-old Jacob W. Jaeger of Corvallis exited the residence and peacefully surrendered to law enforcement personnel on site. Jaeger, who was uninjured, was arrested on the following charges:

ORS 166.270 Felon in Possession of a Certain Weapons

ORS 166.220 Unlawful Use of a Weapon 

ORS 166.250 Unlawful Possession of a Firearm

Jaeger was transported to the Benton County Jail and Lodged.
