A Virginia police officer has gone viral thanks to a dance routine he performed in full uniform to Beyoncé’s ‘Formation’ at a high school pep rally last week.
Lt. Deauntay Diggs, who serves in the sheriff’s office of Stafford County, Virginia, has regularly danced in uniform at events and fundraisers at the school and in the local area.
As Billboard reports, his appearance at a pep rally at North Stafford High School on Friday (October 14) has generated much interest online after attendees filmed the officer dancing to Beyoncé’s ‘Formation’, taken from her recent album ‘Lemonade’.
