LAMPASAS COUNTY, Texas — A 50-year-old man is waiting to be extradited after he was arrested for reportedly sexually assaulting a child in Bexar County, according to the Lampasas County Sheriff's Office.

The sheriff's office said they received a tip on Sunday night, April 11, about Mark Mason hiding at a property located in the 800 block of Private Road 1236. The tip said Mason was wanted for a sex offense charge outside of Bexar County, the sheriff's office said.
