“We brought you a traffic stop concert, and now we bring you the traffic stop clogging lesson. Officer Woodmansee has an eye for finding gifted people on traffic stops. This stop for failure to maintain a lane quickly turned into a two-step dance lesson from a kind gentleman who had just left Cotton Eyed Joe’s. 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. Thank you Sir for this great lesson and keep having fun at Cotton Eyed Joe’s, a local dance hall located on W. Main Street,” the department wrote as they shared the video.
