One trooper deployed a taser in an attempt to apprehend the suspect, and state police say as the barbs of the taser struck Gaylor, a fireball engulfed him.
Police dash cam video shows troopers screaming “he’s on fire,” and then using a fire extinguisher to douse the flames.
“An investigation has since revealed Gaylor was carrying approximately 1 gallon of gasoline in a backpack,” according to the state police statement.
Arkansas state police say Gaylor, after abandoning the motorcycle to flee, allegedly never stated he was carrying accelerant in his backpack, nor was there a placard on the exterior of the backpack indicating it contained accelerant.
Gaylor remains hospitalized in good condition and is expected to recuperate, police said.
