What started as a routine traffic stop for one police officer in Pickens, North Carolina, quickly turned into a surprise late-night two-step lesson on the side of the road.
Traffic stop cloggings and concerts, seemingly, are a thing for the Pickens Police Department; they have posted body camera and dashcam footage on Facebook showing multiple traffic stops that somehow devolved into musical free-for-alls.
“Officer Woodmansee has an eye for finding gifted people on traffic stops,” the department captioned, introducing what would be an impromptu, roadside performance.
Making contact with the driver, Officer Woodmansee sparks up a conversation with the older Caucasian man and learns he had just left Cotton Eyed Joe’s dance hall, located on West Main Street.
“Once I got up to the vehicle, he told me who he was and all that,” Officer Woodmansee told The Epoch Times. “Then he got out to find his driver’s license and I noticed that he was wearing tap shoes.”
Still rather perked up from his dance session, apparently, the driver asks Officer Woodmansee if she can dance and then, without warning, takes her hand before she can say, “Fred’s your uncle.”
As if slowed down by the younger officer’s in-agility, the older driver continues dancing solo, demonstrating his two-step while eliciting laughter and delight from the officer.
“We are not sure yet if Officer Woodmansee will receive training credits from the Criminal Justice Academy for learning the two-step but it definitely brought a smile to our face,” the department captioned.
“Thank you Sir for this great lesson and keep having fun at Cotton Eyed Joe’s”
“Our sweet Fred,” they captioned. “This happen after leaving Cotton Eyed Joe’s. He got pulled over for traffic violation. Cute cute cute. That officer had no idea she would receive dance lessons.”
Nor was this the first traffic stop-turned-solo-performance the department has ever posted. Back in April, they shared footage from what was to become part of their “Traffic Stop Concert Series.”
Stopped in a parking lot, a gentleman in his car treats officers to a midnight serenade, playing the spoons, a saw, and a guitar while singing his heart out.
“If you know a cop or every heard one say, ‘No traffic stop is the same’ or ’there’s no routine traffic stop,' this video will show that not all traffic stops are the same,” the department captioned.
“In this case we were given the opportunity to hear a multi-talented gentleman from North Carolina play the spoons, a saw, and guitar. When asked if we wanted to hear him play some of his instruments, we couldn’t turn down the opportunity.
“Thank you Sir for giving us our first Traffic Stop Concert.”
