Today's Story: "Arrested In A Pumpkin Patch



Police arrested Malcolm Davidson, a 27 year old white male,

resident of Wilmington, NC, in a pumpkin patch at 11:38 PM

Friday. Davidson will be charged with lewd and lascivious

behavior, public indecency, and public intoxication at the County

Courthouse on Monday.



The suspect allegedly stated that as he was passing a pumpkin

patch, he decided to stop. 'You know, a pumpkin is soft and

squishy inside, and there was no one around here for miles. At

least I thought there wasn't.' he stated in a phone interview

from the County Courthouse jail.



Davidson went on to state that he pulled over to the side of the

road, picked out a pumpkin that he thought was appropriate for

his purposes, cut a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his

alleged 'need'. 'I guess I was just really into it, you know?' he

commented with evident embarrassment.



In the process, Davidson apparently failed to notice the

Wilmington Municipal police car approaching and was unaware of

his audience until officer Brenda Taylor approached him.



'It was an unusual situation, that's for sure', said officer

Taylor. 'I walked up to [Davidson] and he's . . . just working

away at this pumpkin.'



Taylor went on to describe what happened when she approached

Davidson.



'I just went up and said, 'Excuse me sir, but do you realize what

you're doing with that pumpkin?'



He got real surprised as you would expect and then looked me

straight in the face and said: ''A pumpkin? Damn.... is it

midnight already?''"
