Pumpkin Patch Prowler
Police arrested Malcolm Davidson, a 27 year
old white male, resident of White Plains, NY, in a pumpkin
patch at 11:38pm 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
White Plains 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!? Damn...is it midnight already?'"
