PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) - Authorities say a man accused of felony flight from a south Mississippi robbery was also wanted on auto theft and multiple charges of robbery in Mobile County.

Christopher M. Parker is a suspect in the robbery Sunday of a Kangaroo service station in Jackson County, Mississippi. Sheriff Mike Byrd says Parker may also be suspect in an earlier robbery in neighboring Harrison County, Mississippi.

Byrd says that after the Kangaroo robbery, the suspect fled from deputies on Interstate 10 at speeds topping 100 miles an hour, running vehicles off the road and twice trying to ram patrol cars with the stolen vehicle.

Byrd says Parker only stopped when the engine blew up.

Parker was taken into custody in Irvington, Alabama.

Byrd says Parker was injured while resisting arrest. Parker was treated at a hospital then held without bond at the Jackson County, Mississippi, jail.
