The son of ex-Real Housewives of Orange County star, Lauri Peterson, has been hit with four more charges linked to his ongoing attempted murder case.
Joshua Waring, 27, has been charged with battery, hit and run with property damage, evading police/reckless driving, resisting arrest and obstructing an officer, and unlawful taking of a vehicle, according to Radar Online.
It comes after the 27-year-old was arrested in June for the alleged shooting of a 35-year-old California man.
Waring, who had his bail set at $1 million, told the gossip website on Thursday he did not shoot the man but had been involved in an 'altercation' on the night of the incident.
'I was under the influence, and was chased off the property,' he told Radar.
'It was a mistake of bad timing. Someone came back and shot up the house. Just because I had priors, I was arrested.'
It was reported earlier this year that Waring allegedly fled from police in a stolen car on the night of the shooting, according to Buzzfeed.
The victim was taken to a hospital in a serious condition with a gunshot wound in the lower torso.
Police said Waring was arrested after a standoff with authorities in Santa Ana.
Waring was identified as the shooter by people at the victim's home after police responded to a report of a shooting around 2am, according to the Costa Mesa Police Department.

Orange County Sheriff's Department helicopter found Waring in a BMW, which had been reported stolen, according to Buzzfeed.
Waring is accused of fleeing in the vehicle and at one point was involved in a traffic accident.
He then continued to flee on foot, police said, but he was apprehended while attempting to hide in a business, according to Buzzfeed.
Authorities said evidence related to the shooting was found inside the stolen vehicle, but no gun was found.
Waring was facing three counts of attempted murder over the alleged shooting.
Since the arrest, Peterson's former Housewives co-stars have come out in support of her and her son.
'Lauri's done everything she can to help him,' Jeana Keough told E! News. 'It's in the court's hands now. You're innocent until proven guilty. We don't know the situation. My prayers are with Lauri and her family.'
Meanwhile, Vicki Gunvalson said she got in touch with Peterson as soon as she heard.
She said: 'I reached out to Lauri this morning when I heard the news, and let her know I am here for her if she needs anything. As a mother myself, I can't imagine how difficult this is for her.'
Waring was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, vehicle theft, felony evading, hit and run, assault, and battery. He's pictured on Season 1 of the Real Housewives of Orange County
Peterson explained her reason for leaving the popular reality TV show during the fourth season in a 2008 interview with the Orange County Register, saying she needed to 'concentrate on her well-being' because of her son's ongoing drug addiction.
'Josh is not a stranger to problems. He had enough problems before the show. I truly believe drug addiction is a genetic illness. He was predisposed to it, and he has it.'
At the time Waring was serving a jail term for possession of heroin.
Waring has a history of misdemeanor arrests, as well as several pending criminal cases, according to court records.
He was arrested in June 2008 for possession of heroin and ecstasy and intent to sell and in July 2009 for the possession of narcotics and drug paraphernalia, according to TMZ.
Waring was arrested again April 2010 for battery on a spouse or significant other and false imprisonment.
In 2014, he was reportedly charged with 'possession of an opium pipe and/or controlled substance paraphernalia', and last year, he was charged with resisting arrest and 'sentenced to 60 days in jail', according to Radar Online.
Earlier this year Waring pleaded not guilty to felony charges including possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell and was released on bond as the case moved forward.
