Police say a 15-year-old drank straight from a tequila bottle and became so sick she went in and out of consciousness and started throwing up. She was eventually hospitalized.
Another 15-year-old was cited for underage drinking.
A spokesperson for the McAllen Police Department said the arrests should remind people about the consequences of letting teenagers get their hands on alcohol.
The police department has not yet released an update on the condition of the hospitalized 15-year-old.
