Victim of gas station fire started by police officer’s taser sues for damages
The then-26-year-old stopped at a Wawa gas station to fill his bike’s tank. There, deputies tackled him to the ground and tased him, the lawsuit claims. A deputy then tased him a second time, according to the lawsuit, which ignited the gas around them. The fire caused burns to most of Barreto-Baerga’s body and he was not expected to survive.
