Fred Burton, the incumbent mayor of Arcola, was arrested and booked into Fort Bend County Jail on five felony charges around 10:30 p.m Tuesday, according to court records.
Burton is facing various charges, including two counts of illegal voting, one count of misuse of official information, one count of tampering with government records with intent to defraud or harm, and one count of fraudulently securing the execution of a document.
The illegal voting charges come from two different elections — the Arcola Municipal Runoff Election on June 7, 2025, and the April 23, 2026, City of Arcola General, Joint, and Special Election.
According to the indictments, Burton allegedly assisted, encouraged, or failed to prevent non-eligible voters from voting despite knowledge of their ineligibility.
The other three charges are from his time as mayor in 2023.
Burton allegedly used his office as mayor to disclose non-public information regarding a competitive city contract to another person for a "non-governmental purpose."

That thing that never happens, has happened again.
I don’t see the word Republican, so he must be a Commiecrat.
Behold the released mugshot, the standard symbol symbol of justice. Handcuffs and a perpwalk were also granted to the public. You know, UNLIKE THE UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMORS ABOUT COMEY AND BOLTON.
Thanks for posting. HOORAY LE!
But he’s “grown.” He can do whatever he da88 well pleases now according to ghetto culture.
It’s always them Yogi.
Fred is lining his pockets as fast as possible but was a little clumsy.
Rats only go to jail for election fraud when they cheat other Rats.
