[FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][CENTER][FONT=Verdana][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]In summary, the police arrested Patrick Lawrence, a 22-year-old white male, resident of Dacula, GA, in a pumpkin patch at 11:38 p.m. on Friday.[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/CENTER]
[FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][CENTER][FONT=Verdana][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]Lawrence will be charged with lewd and lascivious behaviour, public indecency and public intoxication at the Gwinnett County courthouse on Monday.[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/CENTER]
[FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][CENTER][FONT=Verdana][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]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 here for miles. At least I thought there wasn't," he stated in a phone interview.[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/CENTER]

"I walked up to (Lawrence) and he's...just working away at this pumpkin."[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/CENTER]
