MISHAWAKA – Police arrested a woman Sunday morning after neighbors alleged she threw a pumpkin through their window.

Police arrived at an apartment building in the 2700 block of Grape Road about 5:30 a.m. to find a broken front window and a pumpkin.

A man inside the apartment told police a neighbor threw the pumpkin after she became upset when he wouldn’t let her in.

Besides the window, police said the pumpkin also damaged two guitars and a banjo inside the apartment.

Police said they then questioned the neighbor, who began swearing at officers and refused to give her name.

Police arrested the woman, Jessamine Vavul, who then allegedly began to kick and struggle with an officer before threatening she could have him killed.

A portable breath test showed Vavul had a 0.17 blood-alcohol level, more than twice the legal limit in Indiana.

She was taken to the St. Joseph County Jail, accused of aggravated assault, resisting arrest and intimidation.
