Matt Rodrigue, chief deputy with the Precinct 3 Montgomery County Constables Office, speaks during a press conference Friday about the arrest of Maria Sosa for allegedly attempting to hire someone to murder her husband.

Maria Sosa, 41, is charged with solicitation of capital murder and lodged in the Montgomery County Jail on a $1 million bond. Sosa owns and operates Woodlands Boxing off Rayford Road.

“Ms. Sosa attempted to have her husband murdered though the use of a paid hit man,” Matt Rodrigue, chief deputy with the Montgomery County Precinct 3 Constable Office, said during a press conference Friday. “Through the use of undercover law enforcement officers, she met with and paid whom she believed was a man who would carry the murder for her.”

Rodrigue said the investigation and arrest are a collaborative effort between the constable’s office, the Texas Department Public Safety Criminal Investigations Division and Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office. click here for complete story
