Gater Albert Browne, 40, previously of Winnipeg, faces charges of failing to stop at the scene of an accident involving death, dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death, four counts of possession of stolen property and criminal negligence causing death.
Police said he was arrested in Saskatchewan.
Browne was arrested on Aug. 11, 2017. He was charged on Dec. 1, 2017. Police told Global News they couldn’t release information about his arrest due to other court issues in Saskatchewan.

Eusanio’s family said at the time she was a kind woman who loved gardening and her grandkids.
“A soul mate and partner in crime in husband Jean-Louis, married for 18 years full of laughter and tears, adventures and memories. Jean-Louis’ unwavering love and support of Marlene’s dreams demonstrates the depth of their commitment to one another,” reads an obituary published in 2017.
