A Florida sheriff's deputy, David Crawford, has been criminally charged for firing a Taser at a man pumping gas, resulting in a fireball that burned nearly 75 per cent of the victim's body.
The incident, which occurred at a Wawa gas station in Orange County on February 27, 2022, was captured on video. The sheriff's deputy has since been charged with culpable negligence.
The events unfolded when officers pursued Jean Barretto Baerga, who was driving recklessly on a motorcycle, according to police.
