Public Indecency!

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

Wimbledon, 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 felt was appropriate to 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 Wimbledon

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 that you

are screwing a pumpkin?" He got real surprised as you'd expect and then

looked me straight in the face and said, 'A pumpkin? D*mn... is it

midnight already?"
