One officer warned “Kill the pump! There’s gas!” when they whipped out their tasers, according to body-cam footage, but one deputy has just been formally charged in this gas station explosion.
A Florida deputy who shot his taser near a Wawa gas pump has been formally charged with culpable negligence after three responding officers, including himself, and the suspect were injured in a fire that ensued. In February 2022, the cops chased, who they accused of zooming past red lights and into incoming traffic.
Baerga stopped to fuel up his motorcycle at a Wawa before the deputies swiftly ambushed and tackled him to the ground. One officer warned “Kill the pump! There’s gas!” when they whipped out their tasers, according to body-cam footage, but Deputy David Crawford ignored the caution. Because Baerga was “soaked in gasoline,” Crawford’s fired taser caused an explosion, a state official said.
