It is alleged that Wheeler order the cutting down of the tree down to clear a view of downtown from the large house he built across the street.
The official charge is criminal mischief, which is punishable by up to two years in a state jail. A warrant is likely to be issued for Wheeler's arrest next week.
According to the Austin American-Statesman, the tree cut down was valued at nearly $9,600. It was purportedly located on a right of way owned by the city.
