Father arrested on Connecticut beach after trying to drown own children: police
Authorities arrested a man whom they had reportedly caught trying to drown his children at a beach early Saturday.
Queens, New York, resident Romney Desronvil, 42, is accused of “deliberately” attempting to drown his kids at a Connecticut beach.
In a press release, the West Haven Police Department explained that the “heinous act” took place shortly after 2:30 a.m.
At the time, a police officer patrolling the area heard “significant screaming” and noticed a sport utility vehicle (SUV) parked on the beach.
“As the officer approached, he heard significant screaming taking place from the water,” the Police Department said. “As he continued towards this commotion, it was apparent an adult male and two small children were in the water.”

When the patrol officer entered the water, the suspect reportedly moved himself and his children further into Long Island Sound and screamed at the officer, “Stay back!”
“It was obvious at this point that the male…was deliberately drowning his children,” according to the statement.
“Officers immediately entered the water and were nearly 100 yards away from shore at this time,” the statement added. “Other officers on scene joined members of the West Shore Fire Department and entered the water utilizing the West Shore Fire boat.”

Though down from previous month, New Jersey online casinos post November revenue record in 2025

While online casinos in New Jersey fell short of another revenue record, November was still the state’s second-best month ever with over $253 million.
They’ve been around for over 12 years, yet online casinos in New Jersey continue to find ways to set revenue records. After posting the industry’s largest single-month total in October, NJ online casinos last month combined for $253 million to set a November record and ranks as the second-biggest single-month total in Garden State history.
NJ online casinos set single-year record with one month left
Since launching in 2013, NJ online casinos have continually set high-water marks – even now, a dozen years later.
With $253 million in November revenue, as reported by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, casino apps in the Garden State now sit at just over $2.64 billion for the year, leading to $455 million in state tax revenue. With one month left in 2025, the industry has already set a single-year record, which previously stood at around $2.4 billion.
To further put into perspective the growth of online gambling in New Jersey, the industry is over 22% ahead of the 11-month pace it set in 2024. Consider the first 14 months of online casinos in NJ, during which time operators combined for a mere $131.2 million in revenue.
While it’s unlikely that NJ online casinos will reach the $3 billion mark by the end of the year, iGaming has proven it can continue to grow after more than 10 years of existence.
FanDuel Casino, DraftKings Casino continue to set pace
While the monthly total is one for the books, the standard brands set themselves apart from the rest of the market.
For example, FanDuel Casino – which new users can sign up with and claim the FanDuel casino bonus – reported $60.2 million. That was well ahead of the second-place DraftKings Casino bonus, which helped drive $49.6 million in November.
Along with the BetMGM Casino app ($30.6 million), Borgata Casino ($20.6 million) and Caesars Palace Online Casino ($19.3 million), the top five revenue-earners in November accounted for more than 71% of the total online casino total in November.
