Former Attorney Charged with Theft, Money Laundering

A former local attorney was arrested and released Friday after allegedly taking thousands of dollars from a high-end condominium project in College Station.

Stephen B. Syptak, 35, has been charged with two counts of theft and money laundering.

Authorities say Syptak was an escrow agent for Game Day Aggieland, a residential development near the campus of Texas A&M University.

Investigators with the District Attorney’s Office say he wrote two checks from the account to a family member in July 2007, totaling $58, 935.
