GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — A 43-year-old Elm Creek man has been charged with vehicular homicide and drunken driving in connection with the fatal plunge of his sport utility vehicle into a Grand Island detention pond.

Police say Larry Gydesen was driving under the influence when he drove his SUV into the pond late Sunday night. The body of his passenger, 44-year-old John Zebert, was pulled from the water late Monday morning.

A public phone listing for Gydesen couldn’t be found. Online court records don’t list an attorney for him.

His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 14.
