The Oswego County Sheriff’s Office says 44-year-old Anthony Davis was fishing with two friends in Oneida Lake on Sunday morning when Davis’ keys fell in the water. Davis went into the water to try to get his keys but could not make it back to land. One of the other men went in after Davis and also was unable to get back to land.
