A 45 year old man who became an internet sensation for dancing the Macarena at a family barbecue has been arrested by authorities.


Father of three, Simon Reynolds is being questioned after being accused of 'improper behaviour' in a back garden in Jedburgh, a statement said. It is not clear what his motive was or if he will be formally charged by police, though a spokesman said that alcohol may well have been involved.
