'Harlem Shake' Arrest: Teen Arnis Mehmetaj Suspended for 'Disorderly Conduct,' Organizes Flash Mob to Dance Viral Hit [VIDEO]

The Harlem Shake meme has a shiny new martyr. A New York area teenager was arrested and suspended for attempting to organize his own Harlem Shake video.

According to the New York Post, Queens native and Forest Hills student Arnis Mehmetaj was arrested for disorderly conduct and suspended for five days for attempting to form a flash mob and record his own rendition of the Harlem Shake video.

The videos, which depict a single person dancing to the eponymous song (Baauer's "Harlem Shake) before the bass drops and all heck breaks loose, have spread across the cultural landscape like wildfire. Websites and traditional news alike have reported on the phenonmenon and even joined in. BuzzFeed and the Today show both have their own additions to the meme and the popularity of the craze (coupled with rule changes to Billboard's methodology) has sent the song to the top of the Hot 100.

Other schools in New York have successfully pulled off Harlem Shake vids without repercussion. Check out Stuyvesant High School killing it below:

Mehmetaj has been cleared of all charges and his suspension has been dropped but not before being pulled out of school, taken down to the precinct and issued a (now meaningless) desk ticket.

What do you think? Did Mehmetaj deserve to punished? Is the "Harlem Shake" officially over?
