Authorities say Rayburn was trying to gain control of a wind-blown piece of plywood when he stepped on a loose piece of plywood and slid off the roof. They say Rayburn had been tethered to the roof but had just taken off the tether to reposition himself when the incident happened.
Police did not identify the company for which Rayburn was working.

Officers responded to the store around 10:15 a.m. Monday after receiving calls about a man threatening an employee with a knife. The man fled the scene on foot.

U.S. Sen. John Hoeven made the announcement Tuesday. The North Dakota Republican says linking Williston to United’s Houston hub will help meet demand for expanded air service in western North Dakota.

Tickets for flights between Williston and Houston are currently on sale.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Officials say an out-of-control oil well in northwestern North Dakota has been plugged.
Williams County Emergency Manager Mike Hallesy says the well located near Tioga was under control on Tuesday.
Denver-based Emerald Oil Inc. reported to state regulators on Friday that the well was out of control. Officials say an unknown amount of oil, gas and other liquids was contained on site.
Officials say the well sprayed mist and emitted hydrogen sulfide from natural gas, prompting air-quality monitoring and road closures in the area.
Emerald Oil CEO McAndrew Rudisill says a break in a pipe near the surface likely caused the problem during hydraulic fracturing operations. He says the well was “killed” on Monday and has since been plugged.
He says fracking operations likely will resume later this week.

Store co-manager Derrick Orr helped deliver the baby, with the help of others who came to the aid of Medeiros and the woman on the phone with 911 dispatchers, who passed along instructions. Orr used his shoelace to tie off the umbilical cord as the ambulance arrived.
Baby, Diesel, was born six weeks early and weighed fewer than 5 pounds, but Medeiros says he is doing fine, though he remains in the hospital.
