McALLEN, Texas – The McAllen Police Department has arrested a 59-year-old resident following a weekend response to a disturbance that uncovered a large gathering involving underage drinking.
On the evening of Sunday, April 26, 2026, officers were dispatched to the 7300 block of North 8th Street after a neighbor reported hearing a young male screaming and sounds of a physical altercation.
