A 14-year-old boy was arrested after his 3-year-old sister was found passed out drunk from hard liquor at home, police said.
The girl was unconscious when she was taken to a hospital after her sister called police Monday night, police spokesman Lt. Greg Reinhardt said. "The child could have easily died," he said.
The girl's teenage brother was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of child endangerment, Reinhardt said. He said neglect or abuse appeared to have caused the girl's condition, rather than accidental alcohol poisoning.
The girl's blood alcohol level was 0.12 percent, authorities said. Minnesota state law considers drivers drunk when their blood alcohol level is 0.08 percent.
