DEDHAM —

A Foxborough woman was arrested last week at a local hotel accused of offering to have sex with an undercover police officer for $200.

The Norfolk County Anticrime Task Force arranged a meeting between a Millis detective and the woman, Heather M. Morgan, at the hotel Thursday after Walpole Police found an ad on Craigslist suggesting she was prostituting herself, said police spokesman Lt. Robert Nedder.

Morgan of 186 North St. was charged with offering sexual conduct for a fee, and three charges for possession of class A, B and C substances after detectives found Percocet, Xanax and heroin in her hotel room, Nedder said.

"She said that she allegedly got the (two bags) of heroin from the officer ... but after being informed that he was an undercover police detective, she started to sob and admitted that the drugs and syringes were hers," Nedder said.

At the time, she was held on $1,000 bail, but Department of Corrections spokeswoman Diane Wiffin said Morgan was released Monday from MCI-Framingham.

Calls to a phone number listed in the Craigslist posting were answered by an automated voicemail.
