Woman Who Jumped Into The Delaware In Upper Bucks Found Safe

RIEGELSVILLE, PA — A 30-year-old woman who jumped into the Delaware River Monday night to escape the police has been found alive and uninjured.

“Through investigative leads, troopers from the Pennsylvania State Police Dublin
Station were able to safely locate the woman in Riegelsville Borough uninjured," said police in an update to the story.

Police said criminal charges are pending against the woman.

Just after 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Pennsylvania State Police said they responded to a home on Durham Street in Riegelsville Borough for a domestic incident. When they arrived, they discovered the woman and a 34-year-old man had fled, police said in a press release.

The troopers later found the woman walking on a path along the river with her three children, but when they attempted to speak to her, she jumped into the river, police said.

The troopers safely secured the children, but attempts to retrieve the woman from the river were unsuccessful, police said.

After several hours, a search for the woman by the Riegelsville Fire Department and a rescue team from Plumstead was suspended. Earlier reports that the children were rescued from the river were erroneous.

Police said during the search, the man arrived back on the scene and was taken into custody on a warrant.
