An Arizona man’s fishing trip ended with him literally going up in flames … after a federal wildlife officer deployed a Taser while he was standing beside a gas pump.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Clarence “Chuck” Coyl<\/strong> captured the absolutely terrifying July 16 confrontation on video at a gas station on the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation … with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officer pointing a Taser at him and demanding his ID.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Coyl asks, “What am I being arrested for?” … and the officer tells him he’s not cooperating after committing a crime.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

That’s when Coyl fires back, “A misdemeanor? A misdemeanor?” and starts to say, “It’s a ten-dollar–” … before the unmistakable crackle of the Taser cuts him off.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

Seconds later, Coyl’s phone falls, flames erupt, and he can be heard shouting in pain.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Coyl says the wild encounter began earlier at Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, where he and a friend planned to fish. According to Coyl, an officer accused the pair of trespassing and told them to leave … so they did.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

He then encountered the same officer again at the gas station.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>later posted<\/strong><\/a> another jaw-dropping angle of the confrontation … showing the officer extend the Taser toward Coyl beside the pickup and fuel pump before flames suddenly burst beneath the truck.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Coyl says he plans to take legal action after he suffered first and second-degree burns and nerve damage to two fingers … and local reports say he has not been charged in connection with the encounter.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service confirmed its officer deployed the Taser … adding it had no further comment on the matter.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Coyl went out looking to catch fish … and wound up catching fire instead.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
