GOT BURNED!



Lancaster, OH - Daniel C. Wood, a 31-year-old man was arrested Monday after he allegedly resisted arrest - but the freak accident that happened next still has cops scratching their heads According to Lancaster Police, officers were called when witnesses reported seeing a man inhaling the contents of an aerosol can. Investigators say officers searched the area and found a man - later identified as Wood - placing the top of an aerosol can in his mouth. When an officer attempted to subdue Wood, he allegedly resisted arrest. A second officer who arrived on scene pulled out his Taser to bring him under control. But instead of merely zapping the man, the Taser set Wood's chest on fire. Officers patted out the flames and took Wood to Fairfield Medical Center where he was treated for burns on to his chest area.Wood was then booked into the Fairfield County Jail on charges of resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer and abusing harmful intoxicants. He remains in jail in Lieu of a $5,000 bond.
