Spring break partiers who end up in Judge David Colwell's courtroom, in South Padre Island, Texas, may find themselves in the next edition of his book -- if their stories are good enough. Over the last nine years, Colwell has collected memorable anecdotes and excuses for his new book, "Spring Break: A Judge's View from the Bench." From kids making out with palm trees to stealing a restaurant barbecue while a chicken is still cooking on it, Colwell has heard it all in his morning-after courtroom.

Making out with palm trees. Mistaking police cars for taxi cabs. Rolling a stolen restaurant barbecue down the road, flames shooting up from the chicken cooking on the grill.
Such hijinks have earned South Padre Island, Texas, municipal Judge David Colwell’s morning-after docket the reputation as one of the best shows in town during spring break — an annual rite for U.S. college students who gather in beach towns along the U.S. Gulf Coast for alcohol-soaked parties.
