The young man charged in a crime spree earlier this year - including the shooting death of a customer at a Pleasant Grove fast-food restaurant - now faces a new charge after lawmen say he tried to bribe a Jefferson County sheriff's deputy.

Roderick Derrell King, 20, is charged with bribery of a public servant, according to court records made public Friday. The capital murder suspect, held without bond in the county jail in Bessemer for the January slaying of Ashton Blake Roberts at Jack's, offered to pay a jail deputy hundreds of dollars if he would smuggle in cellphones, cigarettes and drugs.

According to an arrest warrant and affidavit in the new charge, King on Aug. 16 offered the deputy $350 to bring in contraband to him, and the deputy reported the incident to his supervisor. Two days later, King offered the same deputy $500, again to deliver the requested items to him.

The bribery warrant was issued against King on Oct. 14, with a bond set at $15,000. His first court date on the new charge is set for November.

The warrant is the latest in a list of charges against the Dolomite man. Authorities say he carried out robberies - and one killing - on Jan. 13 in Fairfield at Burger King, in Hueytown at Papa Murphy's and the Pleasant Grove Jack's.

During the robbery at Jack's, the suspect demanded everyone get on the ground and he fired one shot from what looked like a pistol-grip AK47 type weapon, killing Roberts, authorities have said. A 7.62 shell casing was found at the Jack's restaurant scene.

Video of the robberies were recovered at all three restaurants and the suspect in all three robberies wore what appeared to be similar clothing but the suspect's face wasn't visible, detectives have said. At the robbery in Hueytown, police found a cellphone and an unspent 7.62 caliber bullet lying on the ground where a witness had seen the suspect's car. Hueytown police, who had known King from a previous investigation, found King's photo on the phone's lock-screen.

Shell casings recovered from the Fairfield robbery, where there was a shootout, also were 7.62 caliber of the same type as used in the other two robberies. When looking for King later that evening in Dolomite where he lived Hueytown police ran into King's girlfriend who told them she had loaned King her car - a gray metallic Honda Accord. A witness at the Jack's robbery in Pleasant Grove had said the suspect had driven away in a silver car. A witness at one of the other robberies had described it as gray.

King was captured by Birmingham police about 1:15 a.m. the following morning when they spotted King drive the car into a club, The Palace, on Third Avenue West in Birmingham where his girlfriend worked. King got out of the car and into a white Marquis with his brother. King had on a hat similar to the ones in the video and underneath some coveralls he had black cargo style plants, both similar to the ones in the videos. Inside his pants was an unspent 7.62 round like the ones found at all three robbery scenes, police later testified.

King is also charged with first-degree robbery in the holdups in other the cities.
