Man was drugged while bar-hopping on Sixth Street, he says | FOX 7 Austin 

Thats how you wind up in lake Austin as a floating corpse .

I don’t trust bars. Austin has a serial killer loose who works at those bars.

“There’s no serial killer” APD “There’s no connection between bodies found floating in the water” APD They’re in denial about what’s happening there.

If you are out with friends, keep up with them. That is the point of going together.

Don't those bars have surveilance cameras? Too many people in The Lake to be overlooked.

This is probably what happened to rhat student who disappeared from a bar after partying with his friends...

So glad this man is speaking out, warning others for sure will save lives. Brave man.

I totally believe him, luckily he didn't end up in the lake Austin has demons for sure Poor guy

This makes me think of Riley Strain in Nashville.

All this conveys to me is to not drink at all.

Dude needs to get him some better quality friends. Real friends keep their friends in sight and don't let these kind of things happen. Kind of hard to find military quality buddies as a civilian but they are out there. Choose your friends wisely.

I was drugged once, and I firmly believe someone had plans for me, but as soon as I started feeling really funny after one drink, I thought that’s not right, so I slipped into the bathroom and got myself outside and drove home carefully. Didn’t think I’d make it. But I did! It was 40 years ago.

The ATX aint what it used to be

"... as well as bodies found in Ladybird Lake, which police don't believe to be suspicious" - 2:57 Austin certainly has changed, hasn't it?

I was drugged by a bartender at a CPK about 13 years ago, and sold. Lucky to be alive. don’t trust anyone honestly.

FBI needs to get in on this.

Great, bartender still serving drinks like nothing happened, I’m assuming no arrest were made.

A lady he was talking to gave him a drink that was intended for her.

His friends left him?

I have seen this happen to a friend I went out drinking with one night, we figured out it was the bartender and went back the next day and confronted him with the owner present and he started acting really weird! He was fired that day.

2024 never let your guard down in public , that means you should NOT be inebriated, that’s for home.

This world is getting very dangerous.

That's just one reason alcohol is something to be avoided. It doesn't do anything good for anyone.

For those who are visitors here - Austin's city motto is - Keep Austin Weird. Good job Austin ... you're living up to that dream.

i got robbed right to the side of the police station kind of near the bridge, stole my wallet and my jacket tried to stab me with a knife. this was 1993 or 1994 cant imagine how bad it must be now.

This is terrifying!

Gotta tell the whole truth so the cops can catch the bad guys

Bar hopping and getting drunk is the bigger problem. Once drunk, people can easily take advantage of you- rape, murder, robbery etc once drunk, you can kill people in car accidents You have less self control thus you can get into arguments and fights easier(losing your life or taking the life of another) If you don't know your limit.. you'll be in danger or you'll be the danger to others. Now you don't have to be drunk for people to spike your drinks, but you definitely become more vulnerable and make their jobs or crimes easier. You don't give yourself a chance. I had a girl ask me to stop her sister from leaving a club with a guy It was awkward but i was able to stop her I realized she was completely drunk and not even mentally there. So she wasn't even fully freely moving at her own will at that point.. could easily be raped or killed.

It would be easy to catch the bartenders responsible for these acts. Somebody needs to step up

yeah I got roofied in Boston 20 years ago....happens all over the place.

Pro Tip: Don't go out drinking.

Good thing he didn’t end up in the lake

"Keep Austin Weird" Its been a successful Austin motto for years. Then they went through their "Defund The Police" phase, which was apparently successful and now they need "Stay TF Outta Austin" as the motto. Also, for us hetero dudes, there should be a "Protect your A-hole at all times" motto. That's the one I use when my friends say they're going down to Austin.

It's not in Austin.. but my ex drives a taxi downtown.. he says there's women who work at or frequent the bars targeting drunk tourists.. the women tell the guy to meet them for some fun and give an address or meet up spot.. when the guy gets there instead of the woman they're beat up and robbed by some men.. it's a regular occurrence.. usually the guy is too embarrassed to report it and just gets a taxi/cab/uber back to the hotel.. my ex says some of the tourists have experienced this in other cities AND in other countries !! Be careful out there !!

Six street in Austin Texas is as ghetto as sixth Street in Los Angeles now, if not worse🙄👎🏽.

Have your party's and celebrations at home. Being in public places Too dangerous

Stay home and be safe

Why not avoid these bars all together??

Never leave your drinks alone or out of sight, ever, when you’re out clubbing or bar hopping.

Something similar happened to a guy I know in Louisiana years ago. He was out with a bunch of people for a birthday party, and they had a large table. It wasn't a night club. It was a restaurant/bar...kinda like Chili's. They hadn't even been there that long. He'd only drunk 2 beers and they ended up having to carry him out of there. He couldn't even walk. They think that he drank a beer meant for one of the women at the table, because there were a lot of them, but who knows. My friend was pretty shaken up afterward describing how he'd never felt like that and how he couldn't walk or help himself. The beers served were all on tap.

It's not just random strangers you need to worry about. Bartenders and other bar staff work with criminals groups to target victims, including bartenders, servers and doormen.

Freak bartender spiking men's drinks🤫

Because of stigma this probably happens more than reported and should be taken seriously when it actually is.

Nobody asked him what bars he went to??

PSA: Alcohol makes people stupid.

Went once to 6th ,never again

Been there…TWICE! Needless to say, I don’t drink or go to bars anymore. Alcohol is pure poison, anyway. Not worth it.

Woah! From a Texan, so sorry had such a horrible experience here. I will be praying for your recovery, well wishes and strength.

Evil everywhere. Even simple bar hopping!!..I wish this victim all the best in his recovery.

That is horrible!! Im glad he's okay!!

Good friends keeping a eye on each other

That happens all the time and is still happening daily.

ANOTHER RILEY STRAIN JUST LIKE RILEY OMG IT COULD BE THE SAME THING RILEY WENT THROUGH 🫢

It does not matter the city or town or if you’re male or female, there are nefarious people out there who will take advantage. I know someone who seemed streetwise, but their drink was tampered with and over 5 years later the incident still impacts their life. The mental impact has led to physical issues. Be very careful and aware at all times.

A cautionary tale of having friends, going out, and being safe AND responsible.

Getting sloppy/comfortable

Why do I picture a drunk him attempting to walk on the top of that stone wall/rail

Bodies found in lake. A college student from Corpus Christi randomly disappeared. All when these people migrated to Texas. Smh

So called friends!

Another one? They have a serial there, its obvious.

I got nervous at a bar in Austin. Some people sitting near me kept encouraging me to drink my beer after I made a head call. Kept watching me. Unusual behavior.

If you go to Austin do not drink at the bars or don’t drink at all.

sht happened to me a few years ago, im glad to be alive some guy gave me a glass of wine i literally fell face first down, be careful out there

Thousands and thousands of people go out every single night in Austin. Why did this happen to just this one person? Was he robbed? If he was they would have mentioned it. So what would be the motive?

He's lucky that water wasn't even mildly deep.

Happened to me in Austin, in '75, at Mother Earth.... luckily I had friends with me. 🤨

❤ thank you for sharing your story and I wish you all the best!

Just not safe to talk to strange women anymore (getting hard to find any other kind).

Everyone knows to keep an eye on your drink(s)...except this guy for some reason

Was he robbed?

They drug, then follow, then rob, then dump. I think because he never lost consciousness, he likely fought them off leading to him going over the barrier. We live in a sick freaking world.

Dude got roofied. Too crazy. Probably accidently drank some chick's drink that some other dude was trying to roofie. What a world.

Thank God he's recovering.

Never leave a drink unattended anywhere in any restaurant. Take it with you or ask the bartender to hold it behind the bar until you return.

Dude got black out drunk amd blames it on drugs. Ok bro

He is lucky he didnt end up in the water under the bridge like how many other men ??

Utterly horrific..,

This is why I don’t care about going out at night. I’ll have a drink at home 💯

Smily face killer new tactics

I hear women talking about being drugged in bars all over the place. It is very sad

It's called getting drunk as hell and not remembering. If someone had druged him, they would've stolen credit cards or wallet.

My grandma said " when you have a drink, don't set it down and come back to drink again" People are dirty!!!!

MORAL OF THE STORY IS IF U GO DRINKING ANYWHERE U MAKE SURE U ONLY DRINK ALCOHOLIC DRINKS U OPEN YOUR OWN SELF AND DONT TRUST ANYONE GIVING ALCOHOLIC DRINKS THAT ARE ALREADY OPEN DRINKS

so it's been a year since it happenned. they tell you this at the end of the video

I think I would find new friends to go drinking with!!! They didn't keep an eye out of each other . . . this could have ended so tragically!! Glad he lived to tell about it . . . .

Serves you right.

Happens in Canada too. I know. First hand. Thanks to great friends for getting me out and home safely. I thought it was a bartender too.

Bring your sippy cup with you when you bar hop!

That's messed up. I've been drugged before with some weirdo guy following me.

Stay off 6th street. You're way too old to be partying.

I gotta wonder about those friends… just saying.

20 Bodies found in Lady Bird Lake?! Police don't have suspicious thoughts? The FBI needs to get rid of that Chief of Police! #Incompetent

Poor guy! This world is becoming more evil by the day.

He’s so lucky he didn’t end up in the water

My son was drugged when he went to New Orleans. Drugged and left for dead! They took everything. Urged

Reminds me of Riley Strain

Chasing strange and waking up after Roofies. One heck of a date night.

Gang stalking 101. This is considered basic in the targeted individual community. Remember, safety first. Stay safe.

Austin residents need to boycott these businesses so that the financial detriment compels the bars and law enforcement to deal with this ongoing crime spree that is going unchecked. Too many mysterious deaths and disappearances associated with this area. Serial crimes maybe one person or maybe it’s a gang.

I was drugged in a joke of a friend, who invited a male friend she worked with. He sent her out to get ice. He made us drinks. Next thing I know I am puking and shitting all over myself. She comes back thinking I cant handle my booze? Trust no one!
