Osceola County Deputy David Crawford has been criminally charged more than a year after he fired Taser at a man who was pumping gas in Florida, setting the man on fire.
A Florida sheriff’s deputy has been criminally charged for firing a Taser at a man pumping gas last year, igniting a fireball that burned nearly three-quarters of his body.
Osceola County Sheriff’s Deputy David Crawford was charged with culpable negligence for using a Taser on a suspect who was pumping gas, causing him to suffer burns over more than 75% of his body.“Kill the pump! Kill the pump! There’s gas!” he is heard shouting after another deputy, Christopher Koffinas, used his stun gun on the suspect.“You’re gonna get Tased again, dude!” he shouted before firing the weapon and igniting the explosive blaze.
His legal team said he has racked up $7 million in medical expenses, which they plan to recoup from the Sheriff’s Office, according to the news outlet. “He barely survived. His life will always be in jeopardy because of the massive amount of scar tissue and damage that happened to his body. … He’s doing his best to get through his life with these cards that have been dealt to him,” NeJame said, the Sentinel reported.
