The subject's mere presence in the tree was intimidating to the reporting student. The unidentified subject had gotten out of the tree prior to the arrival of the responding officer. The officer and the unidentified subject located each other and seemed to be equally aware and mistrusting of one another. The subject quickly slithered under a vehicle and crawled into an engine block and would occasionally poke its head out looking for the officer. The officer notified the owner of the vehicle about the unauthorized guest. The snake left the area. Occurred on: 5-17-10, at 6:30 PM. PARKING LOT 107, 2500 Block North IH-35 Criminal Mischief: A UT staff member discovered the driver's side window of a Ryder truck had been broken out.

The officer learned the subjects were looking to obtain medical assistance for their highly intoxicated friend. The officer learned the intoxicated student had been to several local watering holes and had been consuming alcohol. When leaving to go home, the student began to feel really-really sick… hum, I wonder why? Austin EMS was notified and treated the subject at the scene. The student refused to be transported to a local area hospital. Occurred on: 5-18-10, at 4:10 AM.

As the investigation progressed, the officer learned the subject's driver's license was in fact suspended and he had six outstanding outside agency arrest warrants for a variety of traffic offenses including a DWI.
