33-year-old Alfred Cooper was charged with violating vehicle registration law, unlawful use of a driver’s license, violation of financial law, and possession of drug paraphernalia after reportedly flagging down police officers when he ran out of gas with his meth pipe sitting on his center console.

On November 27th, Shelby County Sheriff’s Deputy Ferguson responded to a drug equipment violation at North Houston Levee Road and Glen Lakes Boulevard. According to the affidavit, he noticed a black Chevy Silverado on the side of the road with flashers. Inside the vehicle was the driver, Alfred Cooper, who was flagging him down. He gave him a courtesy transport to buy some gas while Deputy Munn investigated his vehicle.
