Police-Car Pumpkin Wins Sheriff's Office Pumpkin-Decorating Contest

Storyful

Staff working for the Oklahoma County Sheriff were in the Halloween spirit on Thursday, October 28, as a police patrol pumpkin took first prize in their office pumpkin-decorating contest.

The winning pumpkin fought off competition from seven other entries, including a solar system pumpkin and unicorn pumpkin.

In addition to the contest, staff dressed up in costumes on Thursday and placed fake dead bodies in corridors.

“Thanks to everyone who cast their votes!” the sheriff’s office said in the post. Credit: Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office via Storyful
