Everyone has at least one song they can’t help but dance to whenever they hear it. For Officer Cody Pruitt of the Walterboro Police Department in South Carolina, that magic moment was caught on video that quickly went viral.
It all happened at the Colleton County Rice Festival over the weekend. Pruitt was patrolling when the Pharrell Williams song « Happy » began to play over the speakers, local TV station WCBD News 2 reported.
Shortly into the song, Pruitt started bobbing his head and stepping in tune with the music. It didn’t take long for him to break out into full-on dance mode — and thankfully, a woman named Christina Cook was there to record the whole thing.
The ice cream Pruitt ate as he jumped and boogied to the beat makes the moment that much more joyful to watch, don’t you think?
« Walking through the crowd, making sure everyone was behaving the way they were supposed to, then the music dropped and I couldn’t help myself, » Pruitt told WCBD News 2. « The ice cream was good, the people were enjoying it, I was enjoying it and I just wanted to dance. »
The officer, who didn’t expect to become « Facebook famous, » also said he was happy to be recognized for « something good. »
« Especially nowadays, with all the negative stuff that you see in the media with law enforcement, I like to be the one person who puts a positive vibe out there for police officers, » Pruitt said. « If me dancing can do that, I’m happy with it. »
