A mother in East Texas was arrested after a child got sick from alleged vodka-laced Jell-O shots at a fifth grade school holiday party in December.
Teresa Isabel Bernal, 33, is facing a felony count of injury to a child after multiple students consumed what officials allege were vodka-laced treats Dec. 20 at Jones Elementary School in Tyler.
According to an arrest affidavit obtained by KETK, a Tyler Independent School District (ISD) police officer received a phone call from the Jones Elementary assistant principal that said she believed a parent had brought in Jell-O shots to a class Christmas party.
One child threw up and another was unable to stand after consuming six shots, according to an arrest affidavit. School staff said students had consumed nearly all the tainted shots before staff realized they contained alcohol.

Do not tell me she did not know.
Well, in all due respect, this IS Texas.
How third world is that? Buying from strangers running an illegal business out of their house - because that's how they do it right over the border.
Oh, come on! What kind of Christmas party would it be without some jello shots? In Florida we use rum😁
I once gave out Jello Shooters to trick or treaters, parents.
It’s the underground economy. It is worth billions of $. Want a bad tooth pulled? See a underground dentist to have it pulled at a tenth of the normal price.
Exactly. Those fifth graders should be truly celebrating the birth of Christ on their day off from working in the coal mines.
Shes having sex with the kids. Guaranteed.
“””” at a fifth grade school “”””
Fifth grade, shouldn’t that be in liters now?
This is a toughie. She found the jello shots on Facebook, so she can’t use the “I couldn’t read the label” defense.
Maybe Zuckerberg can be sued.
Smirnoff is a culturally specific reference so she might plead ignorance there. This was in Texas. Had they put tequila in the ad, there would be no excuse, but most people may not know about Smirnoff in Texas, at least in hispanic neighborhoods.
It sounds like this was a homebrew concoction, so there is probably no big, evil corporation to sue for an inadequate label.
Yup, Zuckerberg is probably the best bet. Or maybe the evil oil companies that produced the oil to make the plastic for the cups, which failed to turn a warning color or dissolve entirely when alcohol came into contact.
It is the invading culture that knows no borders.
Been in Texas since before the Alamo.
Repulsive!
“Shes having sex with the kids. Guaranteed.”
My first thought was, “She’s looking to “feel up” the kids.”
After returning from Christmas break, another student reported he had thrown up twice at school that day, according to the affidavit, while another student claimed he had “passed out” after school following the party.
Bernal told the officer she had purchased the Jell-O shots from a local business she found on Facebook.
How to beat the rap??
(“The business is run out of a house”), so she went by the house and purchased the Jell-O shots and brought them to the school for the Christmas party,” the affidavit said.
Was it Tito’s? That’s made in Texas,, wouldn’t that have been OK?
Buying from strangers running an illegal business out of their house - because that’s how they do it right over the border.
In the 70’s my mom used to buy tamales from a guy on the side of the road out the back of his truck.
I still will buy ‘street’ tamales, here in the Houston area.
We’d also go to Kemah and buy shrimp straight from the boat.
Nothing wrong with that; it's your choice and you're the one eating it.
Subjecting unsuspecting fifth graders to it is another story.
What happened to running by Publix or Kroger bakery section and picking up a dozen cupcakes?
We used to have “potlucks” at the office and it never failed that someone would have an emergency and be unable to make their planned dish. When they’d come in with their store deli or bakery item, we’d laugh and ask “Is that an Aunt Kroger or Uncle Publix recipe?”. I don’t think anyone ever just stopped by a strange house and said “what ya got for a school event? I’m in a hurry!”
