Valentine’s Day “break dancing” leads to felony charges
We’ve all seen bad dancing.
Authorities in Elma, N.Y. say Ryan Baczkiewicz’s dance moves were criminal. Someone will never make it on ” So You Think You Can Dance.”
The 18-year-old Cheektowaga, N.Y resident has been charged with a felony criminal mischief charge after allegedly break dancing in a house and damaging the hardwood floors, according to WIVB.com.
Officials say Baczkiewicz went uninvited to a Valentine’s Day party thrown by two sisters and was wearing some sort of diamond belt buckle.
His electrifying moves apparently scratched up the floor, causing $3,000 in damage.
The homeowner complained to police after returning from vacation, the TV station’s Web site reports.
Baczkiewicz’s mother questioned the charges, noting that the homeowner had a ‘friend’ at the sheriff’s office.
Her son is also charged with criminal trespassing.
Seems like the charges are a little stiff, but what do you think?
