Man Bursts Into Flames After Speeding From Cumberland Deputy

[struggle4progress]

<snip> Deputies said Corporal Bradley Dean pulled over Richard McKinnon for a broken taillight in the Lake Upchurch area of Cumberland County.

McKinnon sped off, drove over a mailbox and hit a tree, deputies said.

He had gasoline in the front seat of his vehicle, and the gasoline splattered on him, they said.

When Dean attempted to apprehend McKinnon after the wreck, deputies said McKinnon tried to get away again and Dean used a Taser to stop him. <snip>

" Deputies said they have not yet charged McKinnon. They said he already faces robbery and kidnapping charges in Bladen County."
