Daniel Wood Was Stunned Into Flames

, OH- Around 8 p.m. Monday, officers responded to report of a man running into traffic and yelling threats to a crowd outside a Kmart store. When the officers arrived, they found 31-year old Daniel Wood holding a aerosol can of electronics cleaner in his hand and witnessed Wood huffing from it. Wood must have still had a few braincells left, because he beat feet as soon as he seen the officers approach. When the officers caught up to him, Wood kicked at them and tried to bite them while he continued discharging the aerosol can into his mouth. I wonder if he felt like he was walking on sunshine?
It had only been one day since the officers received their new Tasers and Wood’s erratic behavior gave the officers a chance to test out their new weapons. One of the officers deployed his stun gun and Wood was hit in the chest and one of his arms with the charged prongs. I imagine at the time the officers’ main objective was just to get Wood’s crazy ass under control, but they forgot one important detail. The numb nuts was still holding an aerosol can and there were vapors in the air from him continuously trying to get his fix. That was when the officers learned how extremely flammable Wood can be. Yes, folks. Flames were ignited and Wood ceased huffing and began puffing out clouds of smoke.
The officer quickly shut off the Taser, approached Wood and patted out the flames on his body. Wood was not seriously injured and received medical care before he was taken to jail. He was charged with resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer and abusing harmful intoxicants. Of course, the Manson-looking menace has a history with the po-po which consists of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and alcohol and drug charges. Wood was released about 11:30 p.m. that night and rearrested Tuesday when he failed to show up in court. In all seriousness, I really hope this guy gets some help and will one day find the strength to overcome his addictions.
Stun Guns have a potential danger because they can set their targets on fire. Makers of stun guns warn that such fires are extremely rare but can occur. The written policy for Lancaster’s seven new Tasers says that the devices shouldn’t be used when flammable materials are evident. Lancaster Police Chief David Bailey said his officers acted appropriately given the situation and Wood’s combative behavior. “There was no recognition on the part of these officers that this would be the result,” Bailey said. “They didn’t know the vapor was present and would flash. … It wasn’t as if the suspect was doused in a chemical.”
A special thanks goes out to Taz for the awesome feature box picture.

WOW! “Got a light dude?” Freakin Hilarious! What really cracks me up is that the cops weren’t thinkin’ about him bein’ flammable. The conversation must have been – “Hey, he’s actin’ like he’s possessed, well we got these new fangled stun guns, that’ll teach ‘im. Wait, stop wha? What’s happening? He really IS possessed! Go put ‘im out! No way You go put ‘im out. Oh wait, it’s that stuff he was huffin’. Oh, OK. Hold still dude, I’ll put you out. There ya go, all better…now off to the pokey. Oh yeah, I guess we better get ya checked out first. Sorry dude…..”

Wow what a mug shot! If I was going to cast a movie for a serial killing family this guy would have to be in it and yes he can bring his can of aerosol to the set. I gave up huffing when I was 17 I dont know how many lives I have lived in my own mind or how many time I have died. Giving that stuff up was the best thing I ever did I’m lucky it really didn’t kill me. My fume of choice was gasoline and I still feel pretty stupid that I used to huff that stuff from sun up to sun down. I seen the sniffing episode of Beavis and Butt-head and it was on I just had to try it but that was like back in 1994 when I was in jr. high. I didnt smarten up till 1996 or was it 1997 lol oh well who cares as you can tell sometimes it still has it’s effects on me.

I don’t get it… being a Zombie isn’t “high”, it’s WASTED! These kind of people certainly aren’t FUN to be around or to live with; they are a burden if anything. What’s the world coming to?
