The man who allegedly caused a number of crashes and committed violent carjackings in Edmonton earlier this month is facing an additional 23 charges.
Police say 44-year-old Michael Russell Lariviere was charged with five counts of robbery, five counts of using an imitation firearm in the commission of an offence, and five counts of failing to remain at the scene of a collision on May 25.
