A mother in East Texas faces a serious crime of injuries to a child after she supposedly served gelatin shots with vodka to fifth grade students at a party in December.
Teresa Isabel Bernal, 33, was arrested and reserved last week after an investigation of almost four men about the incident that Tok was located on December 20 at Jones Elementary School in Tyler.
Bernal, who teachers and administrators described as “a father intervened and was present in many functions at school,” argued that it was a mistake and had no idea that the gelatin contained alcohol. She told the Police that she bought the gift in a local business at home. His own daughter is a student in class.
The result of Christmas shots was not a group of fiesta animals in the fifth grade, although school staff said students had consumed almost all the shots before the staff realized that they contained alcohol.
“A child vomited and another could not stand up after consuming six shots,” said an affidavit obeyed by Ketk News in Laredo. Fifteen students were sent to the school nurse and reported headaches and stomach problems. Another student said he had “fainted” after school after the party.
A Police officer of the Independent School District of Tyler received a phone call in December from Jones Elementary deputy director on the shots. But the interviews of those involved did not begin until January, when the staff and the students returned after the holidays.
Bernal told the Police that he had bought the gelatin shots of a local business he found on Facebook. She kept the police that she did not intend to give students with alcohol.
However, an investigator observed a photo of the gelatin shots that Bernal ordered, and affirms in the affidavit:
Clearly establishes that gelatin shots contain smirnoff [a vodka brand]. In my opinion, there is no way that Bernal could have lost the fact that the shots of Jello-O that he bought and brought to the fifth grade Christmas party of his daughter contained alcohol drinking.
Bernal was arrested and reserved in Smith County prison last Monday, for what caused bodily injuries to a child and registered his bail of $ 75,000 on the same day.
According to Tyler ISD, Bernal has not been allowed to return to the campus from the incident.
