A Florida sheriff’s deputy accused of Tasing a gas-soaked biker during a botched arrest — and sparking a fire that burned more than 75% of the man’s body three years ago — has been acquitted of negligence charges.

Osceola County Deputy David Crawford tackled victim Jean Barreto at a Wawa gas station after Barreto had allegedly run red lights, ridden on the sidewalk and sped into oncoming traffic before stopping to refuel on Feb. 27, 2022, local reports said.

Crawford shouted to his partners to turn off the gas pump during the caught-on-camera encounter, which knocked Barreto’s bike over and soaked him with gasoline.

Prosecutors said that’s when Crawford raised his Taser, fired the weapon and ignited a blaze that torched Barreto from neck to ankles.

They charged the deputy with culpable negligence for the act. But on Friday, a jury declared him not guilty after a week-long trial, according to WESH 2 in Orlando.

The defense claimed Crawford didn’t actually shoot the Taser, but it went off on its own when he threw it to the side.

“Every single witness, every single video conclusively shows you that he never intentionally discharged that Taser,” Crawford’s attorney said at the trial’s end.

When Crawford was asked if he remembered the Taser going off either in his hand or after he tossed it, the deputy simply replied, “I have no memory of turning the safety off.”

He also said he wouldn’t have done anything differently during the arrest — even with the horrific second- and third-degree burns that covered most of Barreto’s body.
