Police arrested Malcolm Davidson, a 27 year old white male, resident of Wilmington, NC, in a pumpkin patch very late on Friday night. 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 the 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 jail. Davidson went on to state that 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 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." "I just went up and said, 'Excuse me sir, but do you realize that you're doing it with a 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?" |
