Oklahoma man blasts police with homemade flamethrower during eviction

Police in Oklahoma were blasted with a home-made flamethrower while they were serving an eviction notice.

Bodycam footage shows deputies forcing their way into the barricaded Oklahoma City apartment of 61-year-old Darron Dunn on August 11.

Inside, Dunn lit the spray from an aerosol can on fire and shot it towards deputies.

Police also spotted a device wired to a car battery near the front door and called in the bomb squad to disable it.

Dunn was evaluated at a VA hospital before being taken into custody and transferred to a mental health facility.
