SANDPOINT, Idaho -- An Idaho man has been charged with assault after authorities say he ordered another man to perform the "moonwalk" at gunpoint.
The Bonner County Daily Bee reports 30-year-old John Ernest Cross was charged with the felony Tuesday in 1st District Court and appointed a public defender.
Police say they were called Monday to Cross' home in Clark Fork after getting a report that he pointed a rifle at another man and demanded that the man perform the dance move popularized by Michael Jackson in the 1980s.
Investigators accuse Cross of using a semiautomatic rifle during the episode, but Cross claimed during his initial court appearance this week that the firearm was simply a pellet gun.


Ahhhh...that kind of mitigates things then, doesn't it? :lol:
I'm reminded of good ol' Lou Lemming, wanted, at one time, IIRC, in 7 states, for putting jelly in people's shoes.
Of course, both of 'em are mere pikers, compared to the enema bandit. 8)

Immortalized in song by no less than one F.Zappa. I will, however, just stick to the facts, for the forum's sake:

I forgot about Frank's song, "THE ILLINOIS ENEMA BANDIT" :lol:

I sure never knew it was based on actual facts. Even if Frank did say it was a true story. He didn't give a watered down version of the capers did he. :shock: :lol:

I heard he's on the loose.


Zappa's lyrics said:
The Illinois enema bandit, I heard he's on the loose.

Sometimes I'm so subtle that no one even notices :?
OH I noticed, I just thought the wiki link was a whole lot safer than a link to the lyrics.
I am surprised you haven't said a word about that Lemming character though. A real Volunteer, that one.. :wink:
