Three Mabank residents were arrested on Wednesday while attempting to sell $300 worth of meth to undercover police at a gas station near Highway 175 and Highway 90, while a three-year-old child looked on from the back seat.  The child, whose identity has not been released, was immediately turned over to Family Protective Services. 
The three suspects were identified as Holly Woods, 29; Alicia Hojem, 23; and Ronny Hale, 35.  Hale is a registered sex offender with a previous conviction for sexual assault of a child.  All three remain in custody on charges related to drugs and child endangerment. The Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that the child was related to one of the individuals in the vehicle and that Hale was riding in the back seat of the vehicle along with the child.
