In Boston, Stravinsky conducted a performance of his arrangement of the American National Anthem, which he dedicated to the American people and allowed to be used freely. Stravinsky's unconventional stylistic tendencies resulted in an arrangement which didn't sit well with the state of Massachusetts, whose government had a law against the tampering of national property. They considered the anthem national property, and his reharmonization "tampering." Essentially, he was initially arrested for desecration of a national hymn.
They seized his score and took him away.
Luckily, he was released after he convinced authorities of his good intentions.
Igor Stravinksy was arrested in Boston Massachusetts after he played his variation of the American National Anthem, which Massachusetts considered "national property" and therefore could not be tampered with. He was released the same day.
