Sources say Rivas also allegedly did cocaine the night of the crash as well as consumed alcohol. The Harris County District Attorney's Office is waiting on toxicology reports to determine if the drug was in her system.
Sources say that wasn't the only bar Rivas was at that night. She was also seen at Dempsey's, a bar in Webster. It's about 10 minutes away from the Crescent City Connection. It's not known if Rivas was drinking at Dempsey's the night of the crash and there are no charges right now associated with Dempsey's.
Sources say Rivas and the teen went to Dempsey's bar on a number of occasions. In fact, Eyewitness News obtained a copy of a picture of Rivas and the teen taken at Dempsey's two or three days before the crash.
