Federal agents shoot taser at man pumping gas—his body instantly bursts into flames. All over $10 misdemeanor. Man suffered 1st & 2nd degree burns—needs months of physical therapy. "I honestly thought I was gonna die," he said. "I went into instinct to stop, drop and roll." Clarence Coyl says he accidentally drove through an open gate at Havasu National Wildlife Refuge 20 minutes earlier. U.S. Fish and Wildlife officer initially let him go with warning—then suddenly confronted him again when he stopped at gas station. The department's policy clearly states that tasers should not be used near flammable materials. Incident occurred on the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation in Mohave Valley, Arizona.
