(WSB Radio)  The man accused of shooting a DeKalb County police officer along I-285 last week is now facing new charges.

41 year old James Ferrell, of Atlanta, was arraigned over the weekend on eight new counts, including fraud, contempt of court and parole violations.

He's being held, without bond, in the county jail.

Ferrell was already facing charges of armed robbery, aggravated assault on a police officer and obstruction, stemming from Thursday's incident.

A DeKalb officer was making a traffic stop along 285, near LaVista Road, when Ferrell jumped out of the car, scuffled with the officer and, according to police, shot the cop in the leg.

Police say Ferrell then carjacked a man, at gunpoint, and drove the stolen pickup to the QT on Chamblee-Tucker Road, where he fled the area on foot.  He was arrested about eight hours later in East Atlanta.

Court records show Ferrell was paroled in 2000 after serving time on a 1989 conviction.  A warrant was issued in September after Ferrell failed to report to his parole officer.
