PEARSALL, Texas (AP) -- Dozens of high school students cited for underage drinking when police busted a post-football game bash at a teacher's home have pleaded no contest.
The 42 Pearsall High School football players, cheerleaders and band members were fined $65 each, a municipal court clerk said.
Adjudication was withheld, meaning the charge will not appear on their records if they successfully complete probation and a substance abuse seminar, the clerk said.
"Now we're going after the adults," police Chief Roland Hernandez told the San Antonio Express-News, the newspaper reported Saturday.
Police went to the teacher's home on August 28 after finding an unconscious female student by a road. She was treated for alcohol poisoning and released.
Authorities have not identified the teacher, who is suspended with pay pending an investigation.
Officials said the teacher and her husband claimed they were asleep upstairs and did not know the students were drinking alcohol in their home. Hernandez said he wants to determine if the couple supplied the alcohol.
