Walter Carr didn't panic, he made a plan. The night before his first day of work with a moving company his car wouldn't start. At one point, the college student told Fox & Friends, he'd secured a ride to go from his apartment in Homewood to Pelham, Ala., but that fell through. So he made some calls and sent out more texts asking for help. His buddies were busy or unavailable. He came up with a new idea: "I mapped out on my phone, How to get to Pelham?" he told the show. It was about 20 miles away. A seven-hour walk. Carr did the math. He needed to leave by midnight if he hoped to meet his future Bellhops colleagues on time by 7:45 a.m. Before heading out the door he grabbed a few essentials: wallet, keys, cell phone, chewing gum, and a kitchen knife for protection. He was making good time for the first part of his odyssey — a cross between walking and jogging, he told The Washington Post. But by 4 a.m., with hours of walking still to go, he was exhausted. He sat for a quick break in a bank parking lot near the entrance of highway ramp. "I decided I'd rest for a minute because my legs were killing me," he told the Post.It was the bright lights of a Pelham police car pulling up behind him that jolted him awake, he told Fox & Friends.One officer asked Carr if he was alright. "It's going to sound really crazy but I'm actually heading to work," Carr told him, launching into an account of the events that had led him there. The officer and a couple others who had shown up on the scene were moved by Carr's tale. They asked if he was hungry and treated him to a couple of chicken biscuits at a nearby Whataburger.At 6:30 a.m. one of the officers drove Carr to the house he was supposed to help pack up and move. Jenny Hayden Lamey opened the door. The officer with Carr gave her a recap, calling him a "nice kid." "You could tell how the officer told us this story that he had complete admiration for Walter and by my reaction he could tell I did too," Lamey later wrote in a Facebook post. Despite being early and the only mover there, Carr went straight to work. He and Lamey began chatting. She learned learned a little about his history: He and his mother lost their New Orleans home during Hurricane Katrina. AL.com reported Carr plans to graduate from Lawson State Community College in December and wants to join the U.S. Marines afterward. Lamey gushed about Carr's work ethic in the Facebook post:
