Background: From Michigan, and came to Austin, TX to visit. One day, he just left while I was in college, and my roommate was at work. According to him, While taking a cab, he fell asleep and the fare turned out to be $150 when he woke up. His debit card got declined because it was blocked for security/fraud protection. So he told the cab driver to take him to ATM where he said he would take cash out. He also had a guitar and a Xbox controller on him, and while driving to the ATM, he was talking to cab driver telling him I will let you keep this guitar, and the cab driver was agreeing. But when he went to the ATM, the cab driver called the police and the police came and he gave him a chance to get the cash, and when he couldn't he arrested him at 4 a.m. They booked him and transferred him to a correctional facility. We didn't knew where he was, we thought he went to his friends house and we don't know any of his other friends. We called the police and they suggested us to check the public inmate record and he was booked on November 7, 2015. So, we went to visit him at jail, he was calm and joking and everything and I got to know his court date was today (December 15) and he said it was fine he will wait because the bond was $1,000. Also another thing, he didn't know anyone's phone number off the top of his head, so that's why no calls were made. He gave me his public defender's number and I gave him mines and my roommate (who is his actual friend, I didn't even know him until he came to Austin) so we were expecting him to get his court hearing today, but the public defender calls and says that because of the evaluation report the date got extended to January 28, 2016 and the judge is referring him to a hospital. What should we do? Anyone who can help? Thank you, you can message me here in sajha message. I live behind UT in Red River St, Austin, TX.

Yes, the guy {Nepalstands} with the screenshot is right. I didn't want to release personal details but if someone can truly help then message me, I will give you the last name and first name to search on - https://public.co.travis.tx.us... and also the online police report. I don't know the full story of what happened because he didn't tell me, that's why it sounds fake and unusual. No, I wasn't spamming or trolling you all, we all have better things to do. It's not a propaganda for money either. I don't know in which state he was arrested neither do I know what the evaluator thought of him during the report, the public defender herself said she was shocked of the report. At this point, it's not even about the money, it's about how he was referred to the hospital "for not being well". Last edited: 15-Dec-15 10:41 PM

Bullshit, He must be on drugs or injected sth to suicide.

Wow the online arrest record shows his status as "Incompetent". I guess he answered in a weird or delusional way upon questioning. That could be a reason he is referred to a hospital for evaluating his mental state. You didn't feel anything weird on his behavior when he was staying with u?

He's been jailed for over a month for such a petty misdemeanor. Maybe he got depressed or mentally ill. Why aren't his friends getting him out on bail???? This is so terrible!!!

Gautam Ji, First thing immediately take him out on bail. Do not depend on public defender appoint your own lawyer. Pubic defender doesn't really care about case in detail and your friends future. They will try to do plea deal. "DONT DO THAT" although its a little fine. If your friend is a student in F1 visa it will hurt his future by CONVICTION. Good defense lawyer can work outside the court and might dismiss the case as well. "DON'T KEEP HIM BEHIND THE BAR FOR MONTHS FOR $150. BE A FRIEND IN NEED AND BAIL OUT HIM ASAP."

I don't think you guys get the problem. He was given a evaluation and in the report it says he is doing poorly. So posting bail isn't the issue, it was never the issue, the fact that posting bail wasn't a option is the issue. I called the public defender and she says I can't post bail anymore. Since he came in he was given a evaluation and since then, he wasn't allowed to leave on bail. For those who are really concerned and know his info, I found a new website that has more details - http://deed.co.travis.tx.us/or... Message me if you can help. Right now, posting bail isn't a option and now just waiting for him "to go to hospital, get stabilized and when they think that he is stable he will get another hearing." That's the problem.

HOW CAN WE HELP ?

I have full sympathy for the victim yet before you send money or anything try to find out the reality. Why don't you call the police or hospital and find for yourself before you help? Dhanyabad. Last edited: 31-Jan-16 10:13 PM

What about helping those folks who had mental issues and called with a bomb threat from a greyhound bus? Or do they have to be college student?
itroll · Dec 21, 2015 10:09 PM
I guess I know this guy. He was in my university Saginaw valley state University, Michigan and was in medical leave, so he went to Austin. Since then I never heard about this guy. Some were saying that he was deported to Nepal, and some were saying that he was in jail.
