Gospel singer TJ Bristol has claimed he managed to avoid getting a ticket for not wearing a seat belt by singing to the officers who stopped him.
He was stopped by two female officers in Orange County, Florida, and then let off with a warning after offering up a powerful rendition of Joe Cocker's You Are So Beautiful by way of a thank you.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office said it was a "therapeutic" experience for one of the officers who lost her husband, a fellow officer, when he was killed in the line of duty five years ago.
