Gladys Knight serenades cop during stop

SALT LAKE CITY -- Police in Utah said an officer who pulled over soul singer Gladys Knight was treated to an impromptu rendition of "Happy Birthday." Pleasant Grove Police Capt. Mike Roberts said Knight was a passenger in the car stopped for speeding Wednesday about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City. Officer Paul Rogerson was checking the driver's license when the woman said she was with Gladys Knight on the way to a choir performance. Rogerson told the woman it was his birthday, and Knight got out of the car and sang to him. Police said Rogerson let the driver go with a warning.
