LAREDO, Texas — A woman was jailed Wednesday for leaving her two children home alone while she was intoxicated at a Texas Applebee's, according to police.

Priscilla Marisol Flores, 34, was charged with two counts of child abandonment with intent to return. She was also cited for public intoxication, Laredo police said.

At 1 a.m. Wednesday, police officers responded to the Applebee's for a report of a disturbance. Police said that an intoxicated woman was dancing on top of a bar.

The woman was identified as Flores. She was incoherent, had bloodshot eyes and could not balance herself, according to police. She allegedly became belligerent toward the officers and cursed at them.

Officers said they found out that Flores lived at a nearby apartment complex. There, officers said they discovered two children, both 12 years old, asleep in separate rooms with no adult supervision.

Police said they took Flores to headquarters to book her, due to her intoxicated state. She was later taken to the Webb County Jail.
