Uh-huh. In the Richard Chrisman case in Arizona (White cop on trial for killing a Hispanic victim), the toxicology reports came back that there was methamphetamine in the victim's body.
The evidence in the trial, IMO, clearly showed that Officer Chrisman unjustly killed that poor young man. The victim was trying to get away on his bike when he was shot dead.
The jury was hung on the murder count. They did vote guilty for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. It was tried by Juan Martinez. There was going to be a re-trial, but instead they reached plea agreement. So Officer Chrisman is in prison now.
Some juries see through the let's-blame-the-victim through drugs game.
'It is a game, a very deadly game, aa9511'.. It is a very serious and escalating problem for law enforcement'....

Effects:
In large doses, methamphetamine's frequent effects are irritability, aggressive behavior, anxiety, excitement, auditory hallucinations, and paranoia (delusions and psychosis). Abusers tend to be violent. Mood changes are common, and the abuser can rapidly change from friendly to hostile. The paranoia produced by methamphetamine use results in suspiciousness, hyperactive behavior, and dramatic mood swings.

Are there any other problems that can occur from methamphetamine addiction?

Domestic and other disputes, ordinarily regarded as dangerous situations for law enforcement, become intensified when a meth tweaker is involved because of that individual's unpredictability.
Many motor vehicle violations and accidents may also involve tweakers. Paranoid and hallucinating, tweakers may decide to travel in their automobiles. Their delusional state makes moving shapes and shadows appear threatening, and they are very likely to increase their speed and exhibit erratic driving patterns as they attempt to evade the images.
An additional threat to society and themselves may stem from tweaker's tendency to arm themselves for their personal safety. Interviews with methamphetamine abusers have confirmed that these individuals often maintain weapons in their automobiles, as well as in their residences.
In addition, to support their habit, tweakers often participate in spur-of-the-moment crimes, such as purse snatching, strong-arm robberies, assaults with a weapon, burglaries, and thefts of motor vehicles.
