Naked swimmer drowns in Brandywine River, ran naked on Interstate 95

WILMINGTON, Del. - Wilmington police say a man who was arrested for running naked on Interstate 95 last week plunged naked into the Brandywine River Monday and drowned.

Master Sgt. Steven Barnes says the body of 26-year-old Ardonas Gilbert was found Monday afternoon. Police received reports of a suspicious man and an officer saw the Chester, Pa., man before he went under the water.

Authorities found his body after a two-hour search in dense fog under a train trestle. Police haven't found his clothes or determined how he died.

Police say Gilbert was released from the Young Prison hours before he drowned, a week after Delaware State Police arrested him.

Police say Gilbert caused three accidents on I-95 just north of Wilmington about 10 p.m. Monday and assaulted two citizens who tried to help him.

3. All above-board, yes indeed

...When family members called the prison repeatedly to check on Gilbert�s release day and time, they never got a straight answer about what time to be at the prison to pick him up.

�You don�t let him go unsupervised, because he would do it again,� Bates said. �My son is dead. They took my son�s life.�

State Department of Correction spokesman John Painter confirmed that Gilbert was released from Young Correctional Institution on Monday. But he was unable at this point to pinpoint the time.

And I'll bet there are no surveillance videos in the facility showing Gilbert leaving. Although there may be one of some of the cops carrying a large bundle out...
