2 More Schlitterbahn Employees Face Charges After Boy's Decapitation on Water Slide

Two more employees of Texas-based Schlitterbahn have been charged in a case resulting from the 2016 decapitation of a boy on a water slide at the company's park in Kansas City, Kan.

Maintenance supervisor David Hughes, 58, and maintenance worker John Zalsman, 54, each face one count of interfering with law enforcement. They pleaded not guilty in a Wyandotte County, Kan., court Wednesday and have been released from custody after posting $10,000 bond.

Hughes and Zalsman join Schlitterbahn co-owner Jeff Henry, slide designer John Schooley and director of operations Tyler Miles in facing criminal charges in the case. Schlitterbahn and Henry & Sons Construction Co. also have been named in criminal indictments.
