Watch This Cop Perform National Anthem After Singer Got Stuck in Traffic
When a singer failed to show up for her performance of the national anthem at a game between West Virginia University and Kansas, police officer Carlton Smith jumped in. Someone remembered Smith, a former contestant on "American Idol," was in the house, working security His knockout performance stunned the crowd. The scheduled singer, Leslie Dorchester, got stuck in traffic during a really bad snowstorm pounding West Virginia on Tuesday. #InsideEdition

Reminds me of my pops. He's retired EPPD and also a beautiful mucician himself. Much love from El Paso, Texas 🏜️♥️

Awesome story. She had a beautiful voice as well.

At first I didn’t realize this guy sings as a pastime and I was genuinely shocked at how well he performed.
He crushed it! 👏👏👏
He waited his whole life for this moment

Agree (Christina's was an epic fail). AND HE SANG IT CORRECTLY. It's all at the "banner" part. "Oh, say, does that star-spangled BAH-NER-ER yet wave" (not "ba-ah-ner"). I'm sure you know what I mean. Even Whitney Houston, who was the best with her creative license, sang that part correctly. Both performances make me so proud of (and sentimental for) our country.
What an awesome opportunity for Carlton Smith! Thank you for your daily service. God bless you, your Family, and your Team/Blue Family! 😊👍❤️🇺🇸🦅👮
