In summary, the police arrested Patrick Lawrence, 22 year old white male
resident of Dacula, GA, in a pumpkin patch 11:38 p.m. on Friday.
Lawrence will be charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, public
indecency, and public intoxication at the Gwinnett County courthouse on
Monday. The suspect explained 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
for miles. At least I thought there wasn't," he stated in a phone
interview.
Lawrence went on to say that he pulled over to the side of the road
picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purpose, cut a
hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his alleged "need."
"Guess I was really into it, you know?" he commented with evident
embarrassment. In the process, Lawrence apparently failed to notice a
Gwinnett County police car approaching and was unaware of his audience
until Officer Brenda Taylor approached him.
"That was an unusual situation, that's for sure," said Officer Taylor.
"I walked up to Lawrence and he was just pumping away at this pumpkin."
Taylor went on to describe what happened when she approached Lawrence.
"I just went up and said, 'Excuse me sir, but do you realize that you're
having sex with a pumpkin?'
He froze and was clearly very surprised that I was there, and then
looked me straight in the face and said, "A pumpkin? F*ck me, is it
midnight already?"
"I disagree with these experts. Someone has got to stand up to experts."
