Moscow police have detained a Canadian national named Michael Jackson on charges of attempting to steal a wallet from a woman in the capital’s underground, the police reported on its website.
The 50-year-old was caught red-handed at an underground station in southeastern Moscow on Monday as he pulled the wallet from the woman’s pocket, the report said.
An investigation is under way. If found guilty, Jackson faces a fine of up to 200,000 rubles ($6,500) and a prison term of up to five years.

He may have gotten away with it had he not attempted to flee by walking backwards.
Apparently not a smooth criminal.
I guess they don’t love Michael Jackson in Russia anymore.
They told him to Beat It.
The only statement he gave when captured was a high-pitched but very melodic ‘EEEEE-EEEEEEEE WOOOOOOOOOOOO”
Was Elvis with him?
I knew this would be a very “clever” thread...
I knew he shouldn't have donated that glove to the Smithsonian.
If he’d taken off that sparkly, white glove, he could’ve gotten that wallet out of the guy’s pocket quicker and not gotten caught!
Couldn’t he just float through them?
Hey, it could be true.
The real test is, did he try to molest any young boys located near the purse?
Or sing any truly awful music?
He’s bad, you know it. Uh huh.
“red-handed”, obviously a raaaayyyssssisss wrote this.
for what this thread is worth ping!!
clever but not much of a Thriller...
Wouldn’t it be bizarre if the victim’s name was Billie Jean?
