On Monday January 26, 2015 the Mattapoisett Police Department arrested Trisha Macey age 27 from the Hillside Motel in Mattapoisett.
As a result of an ongoing narcotics investigation it was determined that Macey was running a prostitution business out of her room at the Hillside Motel. For the past several weeks narcotics officers observed multiple males arrive at the Hillside Motel at various times and enter room 108 while Macey’s boyfriend would wait outside. Customers of Macey would contact her by cell phone which was obtained from an advertisement on Craigslist.
On Monday afternoon Macey was contacted by text message and arrangements were made to meet. At that time an undercover police officer was sent to the Hillside Motel at which time he was invited into the room by Macey. Once inside the room money was exchanged and Macey agreed to the services. As a result, the undercover officer alerted officers outside which in turn made entry in the room. At that time Macey was placed under arrest and transported to the Mattapoisett Police Station.
Macey was charged with sexual conduct for a fee and transported to the Wareham 4th District Court to be arraigned.
Detectives from the Fairhaven Police Department assisted with the investigation and arrest of Trisha Macey.
