Horrifying moment Arizona man bursts into flames immediately after cop tasered him
NY Post ^ | July 23, 2026 | Ross O'Keefe

An Arizona man burst into flames when a cop tasered him next to a gas pump that caught fire, horrifying footage shows.

Clarence Coyl suffered burns across his hands after igniting when the federal wildlife officer deployed the stun gun at Thalypo gas station on July 16.

The lawman had followed him to the store after catching him allegedly driving with a friend through an open gate at Havasu National Wildlife Refuge 20 minutes earlier.

Coyl told Fox 10 Phoenix: “He goes, ‘You guys came through the gate, didn’t you? Leave now. Get out of here.’

“I’m like, ‘OK’ and he got really snotty, and he says, ‘Well, I’ll give you a ticket,’ and I say, ‘Give me a ticket, you gotta trespass me first.”

He then drove to a nearby Thalypo gas station where the U.S. Fish and Wildlife officer confronted him.

The flames begin with the officer — sporting a shaved head and black sunglasses — pointing his taser at the man.

“You’re gonna go to jail, all I’m asking for is your license right now to identify you …” the officer shouts.

“What am I being arrested for?” Coyl said.

“You are not cooperating for having committed a crime …” the officer says back.

“What? A misdemeanor? A misdemeanor a–hole. It’s a $10 …” he says, before the crack of the officer’s stun gun deploying cuts him off.

Resisting is resisting. You don’t argue with these idiots for more than 15 seconds. AFter that, you do what’s needed to gain compliance.

Good development idea for a new police weapon. A taser that first shoots a flammable liquid on the assailant.

Arguing with police is the absolute stupidest things you can do in life. Take your ticket and if you feel it isn’t right, go to the judge.

Seems cops sure tolerate a lot of resisting from people of crayons and trannies today

I my long haired early 70s youth any back talk got a beating

We were very polite southern hippies lol

My guess is he was pumping gas when he was tasered.

I always say split the difference. You can argue with the police as you comply with their lawful commands.

Outside a gas pump is a Class I Div. 2 hazardous area. You’ll have that.

a little light on details. Was the gate signed ?

did the officer ask for ID before the man left

why did officer chase the man?

why was the officer such a dumbass?

I have read incidents like this before where cops have tasered people pumping gas, in that case I think it was a motorcyclist and a case of mistaken identity.
