Charges have been approved against a Prince George man suspected of crashing a full-size pickup truck into vehicles along Ospika Boulevard and Massey Drive this past summer.
Keenan Michael Richard Gatey, 50, faces one count each of impaired driving causing bodily harm and failing to stop under the Criminal Code and a count of driving while prohibited or licence suspended under the Motor Vehicle Act, according to court records.
Gatey was arrested July 6 when RCMP responded to multiple reports of a full-size pickup truck running rampant before it came to rest near the corner of Massey Drive and Opie Crescent with both front tires punctured.
The driver fled on foot but, with the help of witnesses, a suspect was apprehended and arrested and put through a 12-step evaluation conducted by a drug recognition expert, RCMP said at the time.
Further investigation found that the vehicle was uninsured and displaying licence plates that belonged to another vehicle, RCMP had added.
Gatey is scheduled to make a first appearance in provincial court on Feb. 12.
