On This Day: May 1, 1989 - Police Mistake Michael Jackson for a Suspicious Shopper.

On May 1, 1989, police were called to a jewelry store in California after employees reported a suspicious man behaving oddly. When officers arrived, they discovered that the man in question was actually Michael Jackson shopping in disguise to avoid being recognized.

Michael often wore elaborate disguises when trying to shop or travel privately during the height of his fame. This incident became one of the many examples of how challenging life was for him outside of the spotlight.
