WEST JORDAN, Utah — Body cam footage has been released capturing officers deploying a TASER and rescuing a machete-wielding man who set a home on fire, FOX13 reported.
“It was a very chaotic situation,” Officer Ian Adams told the publication.
Officers had responded to a domestic violence call when they found the suspect, 36-year-old Brandon Morgan, in process of lighting the home on fire.
Officers used a TASER on Morgan, armed with a long blade, as the home enveloped in flames.
The home was estimated to be a total loss. Two family members made it out of the residence but three dogs and a cat were killed.
Morgan was treated at a hospital for smoke inhalation and burns before being taken into custody. He was booked on felony charges including aggravated arson, aggravated assault and aggravated cruelty to animals.
