Police arrested Malcolm Davidson, a 27 year old white male, resident
of White Plains, NY, 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 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?"
