Description | A Tempe police officer who struck and killed a 24-year-old man with his patrol car has been given a speeding ticket in the incident, angering the dead man's family.
Officer Bill Cullins hit Tempe resident Kyle Jeffrey Barker as he was crossing a south Tempe road around 2 a.m. in November 2005, according to a Tempe police investigation report.
The report said Barker shattered the windshield and was catapulted at least 166 feet to his death.
The patrol car's "black box" recorded that at one time that night, Cullins was driving at 95 mph, but the device did not record how fast the car was traveling when it struck Barker. |
