Toxicology Report: Terence Crutcher Was on PCP

At the time he was shot.

Terence Crutcher, who was killed by Tulsa Police Officer Betty Shelby last month, was on PCP at the time of his death, according to a toxicology report. Shelby has been charged with first-degree manslaughter in the wake of Crutcher’s death. (Shelby is on paid administrative leave.) Crutcher was unarmed and did not have a weapon in his vehicle at the time he was shot, officials have said. Video of Crutcher’s shooting recorded by a police helicopter and a patrol car’s dashboard camera were released in the aftermath of his killing. “Time for a Taser,” an officer in the helicopter said. “That looks like a bad dude, too. Probably on something.” Shelby has said Crutcher was not complying with her demands and that he was behaving erratically at the time he was shot.
