Back in a former life when I was a foster-care worker for abused and neglected black kids, one of my supervisors once remarked that you only take PCP if you want to go psycho. There’s no benign aspect to the drug, for which the psycho part is merely a disagreeable side-effect. The psycho effect is all there is.

R.I.P., Gloria Woods.

A Dixmoor man was high on PCP and marijuana when he broke his 16-year-old daughter's nose, jaw, skull and vertebrae in a Dolton hotel room earlier this week, according to police, who announced first-degree murder charges against the man Friday night.

The two were arguing over money when he beat her to death, police said in a statement.

A housekeeper at the Best Hotel on the 1300 block of East Sibley Boulevard found a girl covered in blood inside a hotel room and called police about 11:15 a.m. Wednesday.

The Cook County medical examiner's office identified her as Gloria Woods. Her father, Larry D. Woods, 34, admitted to being high after he was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon about 5:30 p.m., police said.

Gloria lived in Park Forest, police said, and her father lived in Dixmoor. She was visiting her father "for the weekend as she often did," police said in a statement.

The South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force helped Dolton police with the investigation. The charges were announced about 9:35 p.m. Friday.
