PHILADELPHIA - A Philadelphia man has been jailed in an interstate carjacking that police say included stealing gasoline at gunpoint from a station in South Jersey.

Marquan Pitts, 24, is accused of carjacking a Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority worker. He stole the man’s Dodge Charger, which he crashed on a crowded street as Philadelphia police closed in on him about 2 p.m. Sunday, authorities said.

Police said Pitts drove to New Jersey after stealing the car Sunday morning and gassed up at the Farley Service Plaza on the Atlantic City Expressway in Hamilton Township.

That’s where New Jersey State Police say he pulled a gun on a clerk, refused to pay and claimed to be a police officer.

Police chased him back into Philadelphia, where he crashed and was arrested, authorities said.
