District Attorney Drops Charges Against Officers Who Killed Tony Timpa. John Creuzot told the family yesterday that he would no longer be pursuing deadly conduct charges against the officers responsible for Timpa’s death. Timpa’s mother and Cary Aspinwall of The Dallas Morning News fought hard to get the department to release the records, which showed that Timpa had been restrained facedown in the grass for 13 minutes outside of a porn store while an officer shoved a knee into his back. Creuzot said the dismissal “was made following a lengthy investigation and determination as to the official cause of death.” A grand jury had issued the indictment. The medical examiner determined Timpa died from “the toxic effects of cocaine and the stress associated with physical restraint.”
