Overview
- Jessica Quintana was arrested upon hospital release and is held on two counts of injury to a child and one count of attempted aggravated assault with a combined $3 million bond.
- At a Monday briefing, District Attorney Jennifer Bergman outlined “Plan A” to leave the home and “Plan B” that allegedly involved intoxicating the children with alcohol and NyQuil before the pond incident.
- Toxicology findings cited by prosecutors show the 15-year-old had a 0.187 BAC, the 11-year-old had a 0.125 BAC with elevated acetaminophen, and the 6-year-old had elevated acetaminophen levels.
- The children are in temporary DFPS conservatorship with relatives, and prosecutors say the father, Domingo Quintana, will not face charges in the alleged murder-suicide plot but does face an unrelated animal-cruelty charge.
- City of Liberty Lt. Ramiro Lozano was suspended over jail contacts with the father as the Texas Rangers review those interactions, and new affidavits say the mother claimed the father took her phone and car keys before the incident while her attorney contests that statement.
