By 1989 Howitzer's popularity had eventually declined and his career slowed down. He released ''Loin Cloth ''right before ''Special Needs Cop ''in 1992, a severely politically incorrect film in which he endangers the lives of special needs children and other innocents. He also became delusional, believing that his movies were real and the [[wp:Soviet Union|Soviet Union]] could still attack (despite the fact they had collapsed in 1991). In 1992, He was interviewed on [[West Coast Talk Radio|WCTR's]] Entertaining America show where he accidentally and fatally shot host [[Billy Dexter]] (Jack thought that his gun wasn't loaded), also shooting at others on the scene. Jack was later put on trial for murder and faced the death penalty, although the outcome of the trial is not revealed. When interviewed by WCTR in a [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] prison awaiting trial, he admits to killing the original [[Ho Chi]] from the Exploder movies, also demanding his prison bitch act like her. | By 1989 Howitzer's popularity had eventually declined and his career slowed down.
