Maybe they just had a dancing feeling
Maybe they saw Jersey Boys and just had that dancing feeling.
Or maybe they realized “summer’s here and the time is right for dancing in the street”, as Mick Jagger and David Bowie note in their video
Whatever the motivation might have been, police received complaints Monday about two different people taking their act to Eunice streets
Shortly after 7 a.m., a call came in about a black women dancing on East Laurel near Perry Pitre Ford.
She was wearing a blue shirt and shorts and flashing passing vehicles as part of her dance,.
Martha & The Vandellas did say it doesn’t matter what you wear, as long as you are there, but the woman on Laurel was taking it too far.
She was gone by the time police arrive.
More than 12 hours later, shortly after 9 p.m., a complaint was received about a white man dressed all in black dancing in the middle of West Laurel near Oil Express. He was almost hit by passing traffic, the caller said.
He had left by the time officers arrived, but 20 minutes a patrol unit nearby came upon a man, dressed all in black, walking along 10th Street.
According to records, Anthony Parks, Jr., 37, failed to comply with a police order, then threatened to sue the officer and the department as he was arrested on a probation warrant and also charged with obstruction of a public passage and disturbing the peace.
