The firm’s co-owner has been arrested in a criminal case tied to a 10-year-old boy’s death at a Kansas water park, according to a report.
The Kansas City Star reports that Schlitterbahn Waterparks and Resorts co-owner Jeffery Henry was arrested Monday in Cameron County, Texas. A captain in the local sheriff’s department told the newspaper that Henry was arrested by U.S. marshals on a Kansas warrant.
A grand jury in Kansas last week indicted the Schlitterbahn park in Kansas City, Kansas, and its former operations director on 20 felony counts. They included involuntary manslaughter over the August 2016 death of 10-year-old Caleb Schwab.
The boy was decapitated while riding what was billed as the world’s largest waterslide.
