Teresa Isabel Bernal, 33, was arrested after bringing Jell-O shots filled with alcohol to her daughter's elementary school Christmas party. Although she claimed it was accidental, 15 children consumed the treats, most reporting stomach aches, while one child passed out. Teachers noted the alcohol's presence and sent affected children to the nurse. An investigation revealed skepticism about Bernal's assertion that she was unaware of the shots containing alcohol, culminating in her arrest based on the officer's belief that the act was intentional.
