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 behaviour, 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 realise 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?'"
