An elementary school student in Austin appears to have gotten a little too into the Halloween spirit last week.
According to the Hays County Sheriff’s Office, the student had a rabid bat in their jacket pocket Oct. 26 while on campus at Sycamore Springs Elementary School in the 14000 block of Sawyer Ranch Road.
The bat fell out of the student’s pocket at about 3 p.m. when the student was “tossing the jacket around,” according to the statement.

Deputies responded to the school and confiscated the bat. They sent it to the Department of State Health Services, which determined the bat was positive for the rabies virus.
The Hays County Sheriff’s Office asks that anyone who came in contact with the bat call the sheriff’s office’s Animal Control Unit at 512-393-7896 or The Department of State Health Services Zoonosis Control at 254-778-6744.
