The charges against Frampton include armed robbery, possession of a weapon and disguise with intent.
CBC News had learned Frampton was the target of a drive-by shooting in the west end of St. John's September last year, and was shot multiple times.
At the time, neighbours on Boyle Street near the intersection with Anspach Street reported hearing multiple gunshots.
Frampton's injuries were not life threatening. The RNC has not confirmed Frampton was the one involved in the shooting.
No one has been arrested in relation to the shooting incident.
The latest offences bring Frampton's total number of charges to 33 for eight armed robberies.
