An Alabama fugitive who was shot in the neck after an hours-long police chase in southwest Louisiana has been released from a hospital and booked into jail.

Records show Cody Light of Arab (AY-rab), Alabama, has been booked into the Calcasieu (KAL’-kuh-soo) Parish Jail.

The 35-year-old Light is accused in Alabama of shooting at a prosecutor’s investigator. He surfaced Wednesday in southwest Louisiana after police were notified of a stolen truck and shotgun.

During the pursuit, Light broke into houses, stole multiple vehicles and tried to carjack others on an interstate. He was shot by a Sulphur officer after he raised his gun at the officer.

Light was hospitalized after the shooting.

KPLC-TV reports Light is charged in Louisiana with armed robbery, attempted armed robbery, and use of a firearm.
