MOBILE, Alabama -- A man wanted for capital murder in Birmingham was picked up Friday afternoon selling watermelons on Dauphin Island, authorities said.

Members of the Dauphin Island Police Department got a tip about Christopher Gallant, and drove about a block from their station to a local convenience store parking lot to check it out.

Gallant, 36, had outstanding warrants for capital murder in Birmingham, according to police.

About 3 p.m. Friday, officers found Gallant selling the green melons in the parking lot at the Circle K, a prominent spot where locals and visitors stop for gas and cold drinks.

Gallant was taken into custody without incident, said Dauphin Island Police Chief Darryl Wilson. He was turned over to the U. S. Marshal's Service.

Gallant, who listed his home address in Montgomery County, was booked into Mobile County Metro Jail about 4:30 p.m. Friday. He remained there today.

More details about Gallant and the arrest will be posted as they become available.
