Central Falls police are charging a woman with prostitution after she propositioned the police chief.

Chief Joseph Moran says he was driving a car with police lights when he pulled over to help a woman who flagged him down.

She apparently didn’t notice the lights or the police radio when she climbed into the car. Moran says the woman told him she was cold and offered to have sex with him for $20.

A second officer arrested the 25-year-old woman, who said she had been using crack cocaine and could not remember when she last slept or ate.

Moran says police fed the woman and held her overnight in jail so she would have a place to sleep. He says police hope to find a drug treatment program for her.
