CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A moment captured on video featuring a Chesapeake sheriff's deputy during a community event over the weekend got the attention of the sheriff's office — and many more people on social media.
The video depicts a young girl at the Cuffee Community Center dancing it up with the deputy, who matches her move-for-move.
"This is how I'd like my kids to be able to view and trust officers!" wrote Paradise Smith, whose niece appeared in the video. "Not all cops are bad."
The sheriff's office saw the post and reshared on its Facebook page with a comment:
"Deputy Saunders couldn’t resist joining a young star on the dance floor. Moments like these remind us that building trust and relationships often starts with a smile or in this case a few dance moves."
WTKR News 3 Chesapeake neighborhood reporter Erin Holly will have more on this story Tuesday on News 3 at 5 p.m.!
