Five men turned a Downtown Memphis intersection into their personal dance floor, shutting down traffic for an impromptu twerk session. Yes, you read that correctly.
🚔 Memphis Police Arrest 5 Men For Twerking In The Streets—Literally
Who knew that stopping traffic for a full-blown twerk session could land you in handcuffs?
Well, five men in Memphis just found out the hard way.
On Monday, authorities arrested a group of men after they allegedly stopped their car at a green light and took to the streets—literally—to bust out some moves.
🎥 The Viral Dance That Led to Arrests
According to WREG, Memphis police noticed a 2016 Chevy Malibu parked at a green light in the middle of a busy downtown intersection.
Instead of driving through, four men jumped out of the car and started twerking around it, while another climbed onto the hood for a full-on dance performance.
Now, Memphis is no stranger to street performances, but stopping traffic for a twerk break? That’s a new one.
Police quickly arrived on the scene, and the five men were taken into custody for obstructing a highway or passageway.
The individuals arrested include:
- MeKell Sanders (18)
- Rashaun Bryant (22)
- Jordan Smith (19)
- Mandre’Co Mays (18)
- Desmond Subbery (18)
⚖️ Legal Consequences & Charges
Authorities cited an affidavit stating that the men were taken to jail to prevent an encore performance.
While most of them were released on their own recognizance, Jordan Smith found himself in deeper trouble—he had an outstanding warrant for vandalism and was slapped with a $2,100 bond, per WREG.
