A 46-year-old Gloucester woman has been arrested and accused of taking her 23-year-old son along with her on trips to buy and sell heroin.

Nancy Fulford of 7 Alpine Court was charged Monday night with possession of heroin and distributing heroin after Gloucester detectives found 10 individually packaged bags of the drug in a search of her bedroom, according to the police report.

Her son, Timothy Fulford, was charged with knowing where heroin was kept.

Police also confiscated a hypodermic needle and "numerous" prescription pills.

After her arrest at her home at 5:15 p.m. Monday, Nancy Fulford admitted to purchasing and then selling heroin in Gloucester around four times a week for the past four months, according to the police report.

In his own statement, Timothy Fulford said he had driven his mother around the city as she had made heroin deliveries.
