When you first see Officer Charlie Kingery of the Lawrence Police Department in his uniform and sunglasses, you don’t necessarily see the goofy dad who likes to dance with his kids in the kitchen. But that’s part of the reason why Kingery decided to take on a country/hip-hop dance challenge sweeping the country.

Kingery, who also has appeared with his fellow officers on the A&E hit reality show “Live PD,” thought his video performance would “get a few friends to like it and laugh about it,” as he told WXIN in Indianapolis. Instead, it went viral, with views of the video on multiple social media platforms in the tens of millions.
