A MAN who was seen dancing to music on top of a police car in Florida was quick to explain why.

Christian Radecki did not have a sudden outbreak of disco fever despite his dancing to Hall & Oates’ hit Rich Girl (1977) and Supertramp’s 1979 song Goodbye Stranger, reported WPTV.

The 44-year-old told Lee County Sheriff’s Office that he was warning children about vampires.

Radecki, from the Florida city of Cape Coral, was captured in April by a surveillance camera — the footage was released on Wednesday — perched on the Cape Coral home of the next-door neighbour of Lee County Sheriff’s Sergeant Frederic Janke.

Radecki, a convicted sex offender, drove his 2000 Lincoln Town car up to the rear bumper of a police SUV. With his car radio blaring, Radecki in green T-shirt and dark pants then climbs atop the vehicle and begins gyrating.

However, perhaps police should have waited, when the 1978 smash hit duet You’re The One That I Want by Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta played, Radecki was in custody, arrested for disturbing the peace and criminal mischief

“Apparently when Radecki is no longer entertained by his own dancing, he moves to the hood of the vehicle, and immediately rips the windshield wipers backward breaking one of the lever arms in the process,” a Cape Coral Police Department officer filed in his statement.

You're The One That I Want

Radecki then walked across the street and took an American flag from a home and returned to Janke’s house, where he waved it around ‘while walking back and forth across the property.’

When arrested, Radecki said that he went to the policeman’s house because “when he opened his front door, a woman with fangs was threatening him, and that a human sacrifice was about to occur involving vampires.”

Investigators added that Radecki claimed that he “made the conscious decision to get the Sheriff of Nottingham to help him stop the slaughter of small children.”

He claimed when arrested that that he had not taken any recreational drugs or alcohol, had not taken any prescribed medication and had not been diagnosed with any mental health conditions.

Radecki was sent to

Radecki was originally released on $2250 bond and ordered to stay away from Janke’s home. He was also barred from possessing or consuming alcohol or drugs during the criminal case.

Radecki’s bond, however, was revoked in late-April after his arrest for petty larceny.

He was taken to Lee County jail and is scheduled for trial this month on both matters.
