The event took place several years ago on New Year’s Eve near Blake Shelton\u2019s ranch in Oklahoma. Adam Levine was performing at a nearby casino, and Shelton invited Clarkson to join the post-show celebrations, openly admitting his intention was to “make fun”<\/b> of the Maroon 5 frontman. After the concert and a few drinks, the trio and a designated driver were heading back when their car was unexpectedly pulled over by a police officer. As Shelton recounted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/i>, the atmosphere immediately split. Shelton and Clarkson, the locals, felt they had done nothing wrong and decided to be “cocky”<\/b> and “rib”<\/b> the officer. Shelton specifically recalled Clarkson giving the cop a hard time, even mocking his mustache.<\/span> Levine, who grew up in Los Angeles, viewed the situation with immediate and abject fear, having been raised to believe you never talk back to the police.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kelly, shut up!’ It got intense,”<\/b> Shelton recalled. He described Levine\u2019s reaction with his voice cracking and trembling\u2014a hilarious imitation that emphasized just how panicked their friend was. The country star declared that he and Clarkson had unintentionally “made him cry like a baby”<\/b> out of sheer terror over the possibility of incarceration.<\/span><\/p>\n
