Thanks Kat, (and sorry to forget to name my previous post).
As far as I can make out, the drug he took was dexedrine.
I don't know much about drugs but I believe a side effect of amphetamines (or speed if you like) can be aggression. I knew a few people on speed (at on time quite a few of the younger ones in a pub I used in Llandudno were on it) and they could get pretty irritable at times. They used to say it was coming down off the drug that did it. Whatever, the thoughts of an irritable person in charge of person in charge of that weaponry is really frightening.
