TABC: 3 Charged After Dallas Teen's Alcohol Death
DALLAS (AP) - A store clerk and two other adults have been accused of providing booze for an after-prom party attended by a Dallas high school student who died from alcohol poisoning.
The Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission announced misdemeanor charges Friday over the death of 18-year-old Jonathan Sierra.
The Skyline High School senior was found dead May 1 at the Aloft Hotel. TABC says the hotel did not provide the alcohol and was not cited.
TABC says a 54-year-old clerk is charged with selling alcohol to a minor. Beer sold to a 17-year-old boy ended up at the party.
A 27-year-old man who bought liquor for his underage brother is charged with providing alcohol to a minor. A 24-year-old man is accused of providing alcohol to an underage cousin.
