The boy was took into custody as he disrupted traffic and showed "improper public behaviour”. It is said that the police were preparing to refer him to prosecutors for disrupting traffic. Western music and dancing is taboo in Saudi Arabia but such incidents in the past have not necessarily led to lengthy imprisonment or serious punishment.
