AUSTIN, Texas — Former Rodeo Austin finance manager Mark Weston, 41, has been indicted on a charge of theft of property of an amount greater than $300,000, a first-degree felony.

The alleged offense relates to Weston’s time as finance manager of Rodeo Austin, the Office of the District Attorney said on Tuesday.

The Travis County Grand Jury for the 450th District Court returned the indictment on Thursday, June 20.

The Travis County Sheriff’s Office arrested Weston on Monday, June 24.

If convicted Weston could face up to 99 years in prison.
