An Iraq war veteran who was accused of going

on a suicidal rampage in North Dakota two years ago faces a new

charge of aggravated reckless driving.

The misdemeanor charge against Brock Savelkoul of Fargo stems

from a June 24 Minot traffic crash that injured a woman and a girl.

Savelkoul also was injured.

Savelkoul did not immediately respond to an Associated Press

request for comment.

Savelkoul was medically discharged from the Army in 2009 with

post-traumatic stress disorder and a brain injury. He was accused

in September 2010 of leading police on a high-speed chase and

threatening a person in a Watford City convenience store with guns.

He reached an agreement with prosecutors in which three felony

charges against him were dropped under several conditions,

including mental health counseling.
