Arrested In
A Pumpkin Patch
Police arrested
M.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 straightin the face and
said:
"'A pumpkin?
Damn.... is it midnight already?'"
{make sure you check out your pumpkins for signs
of abuse }
