Illinois mayor praises police officer who drove man to job interview after pulling him over: 'I am very proud of Officer Gemoules and the excellent decision-making and judgment he displayed in helping this young man.'
When an Illinois police officer pulled over a man for expired license plates and found out he was heading to a job interview, instead of giving him a ticket, he decided to give him a ride.
Officer Roger Gemoules of the Cahokia Police Department said he was just trying to show that police officers are real people too. “With everything that’s been going on recently in the community around here, police get a really bad rap,” Gemoules said.“Normally cops, where I’m from, they don’t really do stuff like that. It meant everything,” he said. “It brought my spirits up.”Local ABC News affiliate WICS-TV reported that Baldwin got the job after the cop drove him to the interview."I am very proud of Officer Gemoules and the excellent decision-making and judgment he displayed in helping this young man," he said.
