Authorities received a report this morning from a passerby who came upon a catapult at the Old Bridge Waterfront Park.
When police responded to the Laurence Harbor beach, they found the
device. And after a brief investigation – involving looking at the
scattered pumpkin shards around the piece of weaponry – they were able
to determine that it was used to fire large orange gourds into the great
blue abyss.
"I guess a bunch of people carried it down there and had a good time
shooting these pumpkins into the ocean," said Lieutenant Paul Moser of
the Old Bridge Police Department.
When police arrived, the crank that made the pumpkin-launcher operational had been taken off the device.
Pumpkin Chunkin is a (self-explanatory)
thing that happens in Delaware, among other places, including
Warren County. This is apparently the unsanctioned Jersey Shore version.
Must be pretty boring in Laurence Harbor, NJ.
The latest outbreak was on Thursday in Laurence Harbor, NJ:
