Local ABC News affiliate WICS-TV reported that Baldwin got the job after the cop drove him to the interview.

The mayor of Cahokia, Curtis Mccall Jr., told WICS-TV, that he is proud of both of the men.

\"I am very proud of Officer Gemoules and the excellent decision-making and judgment he displayed in helping this young man,\" he said. \"'Community policing is something we strive for in Cahokia, because it is not always about writing tickets, or sending someone to jail. It is about helping people when we can and building relationships. Job well done Officer Gemolus and congrats to the young man for getting the job!\"
