1 minute read

A video of a Colorado deputy dancing to rapper Silentó’s “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” inside an elevator has gone viral.

The footage of El Paso County Sheriff’s Deputy Tony Scherb busting a move in his bright orange button-down has been viewed nearly 3 million times since the sheriff’s office posted it Friday. The hilarious video was created to honor Scherb, who retired after 29 years of service, authorities said.

In the 3-minute video, Scherb inspires other colleagues to break out their best dance moves inside the elevator, but they straighten up and put on serious faces when their boss walks in.
