The Idaho crime beat just got a bit more stylish when 30-year-old John Ernest Cross was arrested after authorities alleged that he ordered another man to perform Michael Jackson's famous moonwalk dance at gunpoint, according to The Bonner County Daily Bee. Hey, we're in the middle of a recession, gunmen have to take what they can get. 

The call came to the police after they were notified that Cross had brandished the rifle and threatened the man after taking drugs. An affidavit describes the weapon that Cross used to persuade the man to dance as a semi-automatic rifle; however, Cross claimed that it was a simple pellet gun during his court appearance.
