MAURICE RIVER TOWNSHIP, N.J. - Firefighters rescued a fisherman who got stuck up to his neck in mud for about two hours in Cumberland County.

An official says Wayne Cox was in his boat along Thompsons Beach in Maurice River Township when the tide went out.

He got out of his boat and tried to walk to the shoreline. That's when he sunk in the mud.

It took firefighters about 45 minutes to get Cox out.
