A Canyon Lake man who is a registered sex offender with a lengthy criminal history pleaded guilty to drug possession and endangering a child and was sentenced to 25 years in prison by Judge Gary Steel of the 274th District Court, the Comal County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement today.

No date was provided.

Lucas Wolfe, 47, was arrested in February 2024 after New Braunfels police received a call about a five-year-old child alone in a parking lot at Zaxby’s Chicken.

The child’s mother was found inside a nearby Texas Med Clinic undergoing a urinalysis. She left the child unattended in a car with Wolfe, who was passed out in the vehicle until awakened by law enforcement.

During a search officers discovered a syringe and methamphetamine located near the child’s car seat.

Also sentenced recently was David Hawkins, 59, of Canyon Lake, who pleaded guilty to possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, burglary of habitation, and two charges of possession of meth.

He was sentenced to 27 years in jail by Judge Steel after he was “enhanced” to a habitual offender due to prior criminal history.
