WATCH: Suspect In High-Speed Police Chase Bursts Into Flames After Being Tasered

Do stupid things…

Police in Arkansas accidentally set a suspect on fire after a prolonged police chase.

Arkansas State Police (ASP) were in pursuit of a suspect on a motorcycle in Little Rock last week, dashcam video showed. Police finally caught up with the suspect after a prolonged chase, and when one of the officers attempted to taser him, the suspect erupted into a fireball, before police extinguished the fireand arrested the suspect.

“Unbeknownst to the Troopers, the suspect had a canister of gas in his backpack,” Police Pursuits wrote in the video description. “The TASER prongs likely punctured the can. Burns were mostly superficial, but obviously very painful. He is expected to make a full recovery.”
