He was targeted for deserting and wanting to go to Vacuo. There doesn't have to be more logic than that, especially since he deserted after Blake left and well into Adam's downward spiral - they probably started treating all deserters overharshly afterwards.

They probably wanted Roman to deal with it because he knew locations of White Fang meeting points, and Roman was working pretty closely with the White Fang in Mountian Glen, which means Tukson likely new of the large amounts of Dust being gathered in Mountain Glen. It was an information control move - stop him from running away before he can tell anyone of the large movement involving a shit ton of Dust.
