Man surrenders after running into Gate gas station on Collins Road, JSO says

UPDATE: The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has arrested a suspect who barricaded himself inside the Gate gas station on Collins Road in west Jacksonville.

The suspect may be connected to an earlier home invasion robbery on a different part of Jacksonville, JSO said.

The suspect was spotted driving at a high rate of speed on the Buckman Bridge. The car, a silver Dodge Charger, matched the description of a car wanted in connection to an earlier incident, JSO said.

The Charger continued at a high rate of speed before eventually parking at the gas pumps at the Gate station on Collins Road, near I-295. The suspect went into the bathroom of the business and refused to come out, but he eventually was taken into custody without incident, JSO said.

JSO says based on the man's actions, he is being charged with reckless driving and resisting without violence
