SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, Texas (AP) - Making out with palm trees. Mistaking police cars for taxicabs. Rolling a stolen restaurant barbecue down the road, flames shooting up from the chicken still cooking on the grill.
Such spring-break high jinks have made Municipal Judge David Colwell's courtroom one of the best shows in town. Now Colwell has collected some of the memorable anecdotes from the past nine years, in a new self-published book, "Spring Break: A Judge's View From the Bench," being sold at local bookstores.
Although Colwell recounts some serious episodes of violence and death, the majority of the anecdotes in the 98-page book are humorous.
