KIOWA COUNTY, Kan. (KSNW) Sheriff’s deputies made an unexpected traffic stop on Friday when they pulled over a vehicle carrying none other than 1980s pop-rock icon John Waite and his band.

Sergeant Justin Rugg conducted the stop as the group was headed to Dodge City for a performance at United Wireless Arena. A longtime fan, Rugg couldn’t hide his excitement.

“I’m not even on cloud nine, I’m on like cloud 12,” Rugg said after meeting the English rock singer, best known for hits like Missing You and When I See You Smile.

The Kiowa County Sheriff’s Office shared the encounter in a lighthearted social media post, calling Waite a “cool guy” and thanking him for taking a photo with the sergeant.

Waite’s band continued on their way, with deputies wishing them a “rockin’ time.”
