Grafton Woman Arrested for Allegedly Dealing Heroin

A Grafton woman is under arrest for dealing heroin after police executed a search warrant of her home.

On Monday, Aug. 18, at about 6 p.m., officers executed a search warrant for 292 Providence Rd., Apt. 1, in Grafton.

The search warrant was issued by the Westboro District Court as the result of an investigation initiated by Grafton Officer Liam O’Rourke, who received information that a female was dealing heroin from that address, said police.

Surveillance was initiated at that location where undercover officers observed several interactions consistent with that of narcotics activity between the female and other individuals.

As a result of the investigation and search, police arrested Rachel M. Lauzon, age 23, of 292 Providence Rd., Apt. 1. She was subsequently charged with Possession with Intent to Distribute a Class A Substance (Heroin), Possession of a Class A Substance (Heroin) and Conspiracy to Violate Controlled Substance Laws.

Lauzon was transported to Grafton Police Headquarters where she was booked. She was later released after a bail hearing pending appearance in Westboro District Court.

Grafton officers Lt. Wayne Tripp and Detective William Kuck assisted with the investigation and subsequent arrest. Officers from the Blackstone Valley Drug Task Force also participated in the investigation.
