SEA BRIGHT, N.J. -- Love is patient; love is kind. And sometimes, love causes people to do strange things.
Four police officers, a bridge tender and two good Samaritans had to rescue a man who jumped off the Sea Bright-Rumson Bridge to impress a woman on their second date.
Police say Adam Koppel fell 20 to 30 feet into the frigid Shrewsbury River early Saturday.
The 25-year-old clung to the base of the bridge while police mobilized a rescue effort. They finally needed a rope and ladder to haul him in.
Police charged the Atlantic Highlands resident with disorderly conduct. But that wasn't the worst of it.
Sea Bright Police Chief William Moore tells the Asbury Park Press the woman said there wouldn't be a third date.
