A homeless man known for terrorizing a South Austin neighborhood has reportedly escaped custody.
FOX 7 said Rami Zawaideh escaped custody, and Austin Police has a warrant out for his arrest.
Back in April, city officials confirmed Zawaideh was voluntarily committed to a hospital.
Zawaideh has been arrested before and charged with criminal mischief. But, CrimesChroniclers learnt that the district attorney dropped those charges.
Our source, FOX 7 Austin, recently spoke to Zawaideh’s mother, who drove down from New York to Austin.
She said she was in the process of filing an order of protective custody, and intended to take him home with her.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts has been advised to contact Austin Police.
