Her arrest today around 4 p.m. at a local hotel around the Interstate 95 area came after the task force received complaints of prostitution and drug use at the business, which Harris declined to name.

In a statement Harris said Gregory reportedly propositioned an agent.

Harris said there have been complaints of multiple prostitutes working the area.

Task Force Agent J.R. Matthews arrested and charged Gregory, who received a $750 bond and April 27 court date.

Vincent surrenders

Meanwhile, Harris reported Alton Vincent, who was sought for trafficking marijuana after agents found 90 pounds of marijuana at his residence Friday, surrendered at the Halifax County Sheriff's Office around 3 p.m. today.

Processed and given a $20,000 bond and May 25 court date, he faces charges of possession of a firearm by felon, trafficking in marijuana, felony possession of marijuana, possession with the intent to sell and deliver marijuana, possess marijuana up to a half-ounce, possess marijuana paraphernalia, and maintaining a vehicle, dwelling or place for a controlled substance.
