A 1990 red Corvette was pulled out of the Delaware River Monday after a 50-year-old man decided to teach his estranged wife a lesson.

"The Corvette is registered to the wife so I guess he was angry with his wife and took her car, drove it to the Delaware River," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said, according to CBS News.

A witness told police that a man drove to the riverbank, got out of the vehicle and let the car run into the water just below the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, Inspector Scott Small said to the Associated Press.

The Police Marine Unit and first responders were called to the scene on Monday. It took divers about 30 minutes before they found the red Corvette in 30 feet of frigid water.

"There was no visibility whatsoever. The divers just had to go by feel. They found the vehicle, they went inside the vehicle which is extremely dangerous because you can get trapped with all the debris. They were able to feel that there was no one inside," Small said.

Police confirmed to CBS News that the wife has a restraining order against her husband and off-camera she told CBS Philadelphia he's been driving the Corvette and threatened to dump the car in a river if "she didn't meet his demands."

The stunt was supposedly payback for not allowing him to drive the van that the two of them own, according to CBS News. No matter what the reason was, police say the stunt put officers in danger.

"Some of the charges he's facing is reckless endangerment for putting the police officers and divers in harm way," Small said. "They were saying it was zero visibility - they were blindly feeling around" in the interior of the car, he said.

Small added that the man will face a number of different charges from reckless endangerment to shore dumping.

Divers did not find anyone inside the car, and no one was injured during the incident.

Detectives have issued a warrant for the man who's been ordered to turn himself in.
