At least two people who’ve ridden the waterslide on which a 10-year-old boy was killed over the weekend say shoulder straps snapped or popped off during the ride in Kansas City, Kansas.

Paul Oberhauser told local television station KCTV that the safety restraints on his raft on the Verruckt waterslide weren’t working properly when he rode it on July 26 at the Schlitterbahn Waterpark.

The Nebraska man says his shoulder strap “busted loose” during the ride and he “just held on.” A video shot by his wife shows it loose at the ride’s end. He says he told workers about the loose strap.

Kenneth Conrad told WDAF-TV that he rode the waterslide last year with a friend whose shoulder strap came “completely off.” Conrad’s wife snapped a photo at the end of the ride showing the strap missing. Conrad says he didn’t file a complaint with the park.

The park’s spokeswoman didn’t immediately return a message Tuesday from The Associated Press seeking comment on the claims.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A man suspected of a robbery in San Diego has been captured in Nebraska.

25-year-old Wani Kose was arrested Monday evening in an apartment about six blocks from the state Capitol.

Members of a U.S. Marshals fugitive task force had received information that Kose was in the area, and he was spotted around 6 p.m. He ran, but officers chased him back to the apartment, where he was found in the shower.

Officials didn’t provide details about the San Diego robbery. It’s unclear whether Kose has an attorney.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln man who was given a rare chance with probation when he was 14 has been sentenced to prison for violating it by attempting to break into a business.

19-year-old Deanta Delarosa pleaded guilty in May to attempted burglary after he got caught trying to break into a business in July 2015. At the time, Delarosa was still on probation for a robbery he committed in December 2011.

On Monday, Lancaster County District Judge John Colborn revoked Delarosa’s probation, sentenced him to four to six years in prison for the original robbery and gave him another 18 months to two years for the new charge.

Delarosa already has credit for nearly two years in jail and will have to serve about 10 months before he’s eligible for parole.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha man has been arrested, accused of poisoning four giant city-owned cottonwood trees near his home.

Court records say 44-year-old Donald Grenawalt is charged with felony criminal mischief. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call Tuesday from The Associated Press.

Four or five holes had been drilled into each tree trunk, and officials suspect poison was poured into the holes. The city has estimated the cost to remove each dying tree and plant a new one at $3,000 to $5,000.

Court records say Grenawalt told a city employee who knew him that he’d attacked the trees because he was sick of them. The documents say investigators found drills and bits at Grenawalt’s home and chemicals that could have been poured into the trees.

PLATTE, S.D. (AP) — A husband and wife died within 20 minutes of one another side-by-side in a South Dakota nursing home after 63 years of marriage.

Henry and Jeanette De Lange died July 31 at Platte Care Center.

The couple’s son, Lee De Lange, says his 87-year-old mother suffered from Alzheimer’s and had been in a nursing home since 2011. He says his 86-year-old father visited her daily before recently entering the same nursing home.

Lee De Lange says after his mother died peacefully, he told his father, “mom’s gone to heaven. You don’t have to fight anymore, you can go too if you want.” He says his father looked at his wife, closed his eyes and died minutes after.

The couple’s joint funeral was to be held Monday.

WILBER, Neb. (AP) — A former Saline County Court assistant clerk has been given probation and some jail time for stealing thousands of dollars from the office.

Court records say 42-year-old Jodi Rezabek was sentenced Monday to three years of probation and 90 days in jail. Rezabek had pleaded guilty to felony theft and attempted forgery. The Nebraska State Auditor’s office says that when confronted with a $15,500 discrepancy in the county court’s financial books, Rezabek admitted that she had taken the money to pay a contractor who did work at her home. An audit also said Rezabek had drawn a cashier’s check for more than $62,000 from the account in May 2015 and then deposited it a month later.

Court records say Rezabek already has paid restitution.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A man charged with murder has told a judge that he wants to keep his lawyer, an Omaha attorney criticized for hiring a witness in the man’s homicide case.

61-year-old James Cotton told Douglas County District Judge Gary Randall on Monday that he understood the ramifications of what could be seen as potential ethical violations by his attorney, Travis Penn.

Cotton says he wants to continue with the trial. Jury selection began Monday.

Before the hearing Monday, Cotton was given an article published by the newspaper Sunday that explained how Penn hired 31-year-old Lindsey Redinbaugh as his receptionist.

Prosecutors say Redinbaugh sent messages telling another witness in Cotton’s case to not “snitch” while her boss was questioning the witness in a pretrial deposition.

Redinbaugh has been charged with witness tampering.

BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say two dogs died when a Nebraska woman left them inside a hot car for roughly four hours.

36-year-old Ashley Alberts-Roach of Bellevue was charged with two counts of animal abandonment resulting in death.

Authorities say Alberts-Roach put the dogs in the car around 10 a.m. Friday. She returned around 2:15 p.m., saw they were not moving and brought them inside a garage, where she tried to cool them off with water. Alberts-Roach called police to report the dogs’ deaths.

Police say the dogs belonged to her boyfriend. They say they did not know the dogs’ ages or breeds, but describe them as medium-to-large-sized animals.

Online court records did not list an attorney for Alberts-Roach

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a 25-year-old man died after he was shot this weekend in Grand Island.

Marvin Rafael of Grand Island was pronounced dead at a local hospital after the shooting in his home around 2:30 a.m. Sunday. Authorities haven’t said whether his death was a homicide or a suicide.

Grand Island Police Capt. Dean Elliott says an autopsy was done Monday morning.

Neighbors say they heard a party at the home Saturday night, but the festivities weren’t loud enough to disrupt them. One neighbor reported hearing loud shouting around 3 a.m. that sounded like an argument.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Authorities say a skydiving plane caught fire and the 13 passengers aboard parachuted to safety as it made an emergency landing at a small Colorado airport.

The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office says the plane had just taken off from Colorado Springs East Airport when its engine caught fire Sunday afternoon. Officials believe it may have started when a bird got into the engine.

The skydivers, who were using Out of the Blue Skydiving and had been trained, jumped from the plane and were picked up by company workers. No injuries were reported.

Passenger Trent Reese said they heard a pop and a few seconds later, the pilot said, “Everybody out.”

The pilot landed safely back at the airport.
