PHILLIPSBURG, N.J. - The Warren County Prosecutor is warning people of the perils of swimming across the Delaware River.
His message comes after the drowning of a Phillipsburg man, who he says was attempting to do just that on Sunday.
Pfeiffer says the man, who was in his early 40's, entered the river fully clothed, which likely only added to a dangerous situation by weighing him down. Pfeiffer says the victim had hopes of making it from the New Jersey side of the river to the banks in Pennsylvania; however, he only made it halfway across before he had to call for help.
