Woman Arrested on Prostitution, Cocaine Charges

The East Central Narcotics Taskforce has arrested a female prostitute at an area hotel in the ECNTF Operation area.

According to police, taskforce officers had developed information that a prostitute named “Vanessa” was posting advertisements soliciting customers to engage in prostitution in the local area. “Vanessa” has been engaged in illegal prostitution/narcotic activity for a few months in the Manchester/Vernon area. Taskforce officers initiated an investigation and set up a buy bust operation.

Taskforce officers arranged to meet with the prostitute “Vanessa” who offered to provide an undercover officer with an hour’s worth of sex in exchange for cash. Once the officer met with “Vanessa” to discuss/commit the particulars of their arrangements, Taskforce officers moved in and placed her under arrest.

The suspect in this investigation identified herself through a New Hampshire driver’s license as Jordan Beaudette, 26.

It was found that Beaudette was also wanted on a failure to appear warrant out of New Hampshire, related to a heroin possession arrest in that jurisdiction.

As a result of this investigation, Beaudette was charged with prostitution and possession of cocaine. She was held on a $5,000 surety bond.

The East Central Narcotics Taskforce, in cooperation with other municipal and federal law enforcement agencies, is interested in stopping illegal narcotics sales and use in the Manchester, South Windsor, Vernon, and Glastonbury communities. Anyone with information pertaining to any illicit drug activity is asked to contact the East Central Narcotics Taskforce at (860) 645-5548. All calls will remain confidential.
