Police said they've arrested a teenager who caused thousands of dollars in damage to a western New York home's hardwood floor by break dancing on it while wearing a large diamond belt buckle.
Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard said the 18-year-old named R. Baczkiewicz apparently was intoxicated when he arrived at a house party held by the victim's daughters in Elma, a small town just east of Buffalo. He said when the teen repeatedly tried to break dance he gouged the floor and caused about $3,000 worth of damage.
Police said the victim (homeowner) was on vacation at the time.
A sheriff's deputy arrested the teen Sunday night at his home in neighboring Cheektowaga, a Buffalo suburb.
Baczkiewicz was charged with criminal mischief in the second degree, a class D felony, and criminal trespass in the second degree, a class A misdemeanor. He was taking to the Holding Center on no bail, pending his arraignment in the Town of Elma Court.
It is necessary to point out that the defendant is Caucasian so this not necessarily a racist arrest. However, there is a certain amount of hatred for the Hip-Hop culture and you have to wonder if the police that arrested the young man have anything against the this culture in general and the people associated with it in particular.
