Men face theft, public intoxication charges after allegedly stealing water for outdoor slide

ATLANTIC, Iowa (AP) -- Two men face theft and public intoxication charges after allegedly stealing water from a fire hydrant for an outdoor water game. Pottawattamie County Sheriff's Department spokesman Sgt. Dwayne Ritchie said the men were arrested Saturday after a trailer pulled behind the pickup they were driving blew a tire, sending the pickup and trailer into a ditch.

According to authorities, the trailer was hauling a 15-hundred gallon tank filled with water allegedly stolen from a fire hydrant in Underwood. Ritchie said a witness saw the men filling the tank from a city hydrant and reported the action to police.

Ritchie said the men indicated they were going to use the water for a water slide.
