At the time of the incident, Officer Hightower was responding to an in-progress “persons with a weapon” call in which an officer was on scene and had requested additional units for assistance.

New Details in Liberty County
Near-Drowning Case

Court records reveal new details in the Liberty County case involving Jessica Quintana, accused of trying to drown herself and her three children on September 29.

Investigators say Quintana told deputies she and her husband had been having problems and that he took her phone and car keys the day before the incident, preventing her from leaving their 300-acre property. She reportedly took her children to a pond with alcohol and Nyquil, where deputies later found her in the water and the children on the bank.

Authorities say one child’s blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit. Quintana has been charged with aggravated assault and two counts of injury to a child. The case remains under investigation.
