    I lived in Austin, TX and used to know a homeless guy, Walter Dwight Green 1955, back in '98 that spent winters in jail for public intoxication for the same reasons.

    Including name, in case anyone else knew him and wants to chat. He was originally from Kentucky.

    I was a teenager at the time but I tried to help him as much as I could.

    I had to leave town for a year, when I came back, I found out he froze to death in the winter I was gone.
