Detective Sergeant Tom Cooper was working a detail downtown Saturday afternoon when dispatch advised of an elderly gentleman with a disabled vehicle on A1A @ Cocoa Isles Blvd.

Tom made contact with the man, drove him to Ace Hardware and bought him a fuel can, then drove him to Chevron at 400 N. Atlantic Ave. where they donated the fuel to get him on his way safely.
