On Monday, reports surfaced that a 14-year-old boy who temporarily stopped traffic last year by dancing to the Macarena in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was arrested.
According to The Telegraph, the boy was accused of “improper public behavior.” Mecca police said the unnamed boy had interfered with traffic; the reports did not state whether he would be charged.
