The man accused of intentionally driving into Burrard Inlet as a part of a paid livestream stunt is facing several new driving-related charges.
Jawad Fawwaz is charged with mischief under $5,000 for allegedly driving his car into the ocean off Rocky Point Park in Port Moody on March 4.
Port Moody police allege a popular U.S.-based livestreamer had offered him cash to perform the stunt, though it remains unclear if he was ever paid.
Fawaz has posted videos on social media app TikTok saying he “accidentally drove his car into a lake” on a livestream.
