Darren Hunt has told this story multiple times on the radio. Ibok ran out of the stadium and into the parking. He jumped into the back of a pick-up truck trying to hide, which is where the NMSU police found him. Hunt was there tracking the story and after finding Ibok, the NMSU police asked Hunt what he they thought they should do with him?, as if Hunt was associated with UTEP or had some level of authority. Hunt said something like "he's a good kid, you should let him go" and apparently the NMSU Police, taking Hunt's advice, let him go and just told him not to re-enter the stadium.
There was also some follow-up reported, that Bob Stull directly reached out to Ibok a couple of days later(even though Ibok was no longer associated with the program) and made sure that Ibok knew that this type of thing shouldn't happen again.
