Schlitterbahn co-owner Jeff Henry arrested in Texas on Verruckt-related charges

Jeff Henry, the co-owner of Schlitterbahn, was arrested on Monday in Cameron County, Texas, on charges related to the 2016 death of a 10-year-old boy on a water slide in Kansas.

Officials in Cameron County, the southernmost county in Texas, said Henry was arrested on a Kansas warrant.

"He was arrested by U.S. Marshals out of Brownsville," Texas, said Capt. Javier Reyna of the Cameron County Sheriff's Office.

Schlitterbahn has a water park in South Padre Island, which is in the county where Henry was arrested. The U.S. Marshals Service is a federal law enforcement agency responsible for transporting prisoners across state lines.

I don't know what "Suspicion of murder" is.

The SA Express News says this:

An indictment unsealed Tuesday by Judge Robert Burns in Wyandotte County charges Henry; John Timothy Schooley, named as the lead designer of the Verrückt slide; and Henry and Sons Construction Company Inc., Schlitterbahn’s construction company, with second-degree murder, aggravated battery and aggravated endangering a child.
