Lancaster Township, PA – The Lancaster Township Police Department has filed charges against three individuals following an investigation into an incident in which a 16-year-old juvenile allegedly consumed alcohol and marijuana at a residence before being found intoxicated and alone along a roadway in neighboring Manheim Township.

On June 25, 2026, at approximately 11:20 p.m., officers responded to the first block of Riverside Avenue for a domestic-related incident. The investigation revealed that the juvenile had been at a residence occupied by Miguel DeJesus, Amarillis "Lily" Perez, and Daniel Santiago, where alcohol was allegedly consumed throughout the evening and provided to the juvenile by adults present at the residence.

According to investigators, a bottle of tequila was brought to the residence, and multiple individuals gathered in the kitchen where alcoholic beverages were consumed. The group later moved to the garage, where marijuana was allegedly smoked. Throughout the evening, the juvenile was allegedly provided multiple alcoholic beverages, including tequila and canned alcoholic drinks.

Investigators further determined that later in the evening, the juvenile left the residence in a pickup truck operated by a relative. At some point, the juvenile was left along the roadway near York Road and Lititz Pike in Manheim Township. When located by police, the juvenile was alone, visibly intoxicated, and in need of medical attention. Emergency medical personnel transported him to Lancaster General Hospital for treatment.

As part of the investigation, Lancaster Township Police obtained the juvenile's medical records. Laboratory testing revealed a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.154%, nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08% for an adult legally permitted to consume alcoholic beverages.

As a result of the investigation, Miguel DeJesus, Amarillis "Lily" Perez, and Daniel Santiago were each charged with:

• Endangering the Welfare of Children (M1)
• Selling or Furnishing Liquor or Malt or Brewed Beverages to Minors (M3)

The charges were filed before the Honorable Mary Mongiovi-Sponaugle of Magisterial District Court 02-2-03.

All persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
