I don't agree that he wants to shoot himself when he's arrested. I think he's threatening everyone else. He only becomes suicidal after he's sentenced.

So Ralph/Johnny shot that night clerk and after that wants to shoot himself outside the Club Tip Top right?
I always understood it the way that they named him Johnny 99 after he shot the clerk but before he got sentenced.
And the judge knows of that nickname and that is why he sentences him for 99 years of prison.
"Prison for 98 and a year and we'll call it even Johnny 99" is such a great line, I love this song.
Bruce uses the line "I had debts no honest man could pay" in "Badlands" as well.
