Texas woman arrested
Jessica Moncallo was booked into the Dawson County Jail on Monday for purchasing or furnishing alcohol to a minor. The arrest stems from an ongoing investigation into an April 15 crash on County Road 18 that claimed the life of a 16-year-old driver.
Toxicology results for the minor indicated a blood alcohol content of 0.081, just over the legal limit for adults in Texas.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) issued a reminder following the arrest that providing alcohol to a minor can result in state jail felony charges if the act contributes to a crash involving serious injury or death.
