Hanaway was picked up at a Manitoba Avenue home September 13 as a result of a six month investigation and was charged with impersonating a peace officer and failure to comply with a probation order (times three).
He was picked up again Oct. 22 and now faces two more counts of impersonating an officer and failure to comply.
WATCH: Winnipeg Police Constable Jay Murray told media at a press conference Monday that this is the eighth time Hanaway has been arrested for posing as an RCMP officer.
Police admit to being frustrated that despite his many arrests Hanaway continues to portray himself as an officer, and advised that the matter is now in the hands of the courts.
