A lawyer for a former Memphis officer charged in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols said in court documents that investigators found the hallucinogenic drug psilocybin and stolen credit cards in Nichols’ car when he was pulled over in a traffic stop that led to the confrontation between Nichols and police, but authorities looking into the death have not confirmed the claims
FILE - The screen at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans honors Tyre Nichols before an NBA basketball game between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Washington Wizards, Jan. 28, 2023. A lawyer for one of five former Memphis officers charged in the fatal beating of Nichols after a traffic stop said in court documents that investigators found a hallucinogenic drug and stolen credit cards in Nichols' car when he was pulled over, but authorities have not confirmed those claims.
The inventory cited by Zummach has not been made public, and the TBI said Monday that the file is considered confidential under state law.showed Nichols died from blows to the head and that the manner of death was homicide. But it does not say that Nichols had psilocybin in his system when he was beaten. The officers said Nichols was pulled over for driving recklessly, but police officials have said there is no evidence to support that claim.
Zummach, Smith's lawyer, said the contents of the cell phone and the items he claims were found in Nichols' car help explain his “state of mind” as he ran from police.
