The New Hampshire man accused of killing a Waltham, Massachusetts, police officer and a National Grid worker back in December will be arraigned on new charges Wednesday.

A grand jury indicted Peter Simon, 54, last month of more than 20 charges, including two counts of second-degree murder and motor vehicle homicide.

Simon is accused of driving a stolen truck on Dec. 6, 2023, when he slammed into Officer Paul Tracey, 58, and National Grid worker Roderick Jackson, 36, of Cambridge.

The 54-year-old then allegedly hit several other vehicles before being arrested. He's currently being held without bail.
