A 34-year-old Moncton man is now facing six charges in connection with two collisions that occurred in Cocagne and on Highway 15 near Lakeville.
Last week RCMP were called to the scene of a collision near the Cocagne Marina where car had rear-ended another vehicle before fleeing the scene.
About 15 minutes later, police received a second report that a car of the same description had been involved in another collision.
The suspect’s car went off the road and into the ditch and the driver fled the scene on foot.
Police Dog Services was called out and a man was arrested nearby on Highway 15 a short time later.
Mathieu Joseph Paul Leger was initially charged with driving while prohibited.
Earlier this week, five additional charges were laid against Leger including uttering threats and resisting arrest.
Leger remains in custody and is scheduled to return to Moncton Provincial Court on July 15.
