A Noel man was arrested over the weekend on drug charges.

 Saturday morning, deputies with the Noel Marshal’s Office were called about a suspicious vehicle near the Bel-Air Apartments and Highway 59. Deputies arrived and saw 38-year-old Eliberto BJ Ramirez asleep in a vehicle while it was running.

 While attempting to wake Ramirez, deputies found a glass pipe with residue, which later tested positive for meth. Deputies also discovered a baggie that was field tested and identified as meth. When taken into custody, Ramirez was found with illegal narcotics in his possession.

 Ramirez is charged with possession of a controlled substance, and felony possession of drug paraphernalia. He’s being held without bond.
