YOUNGSTOWN — Police made two heroin arrests Sunday on the North Side.

About 1:10 p.m. Holly DeFrank, 28, was arrested in front of a home in the 300 block of East Philadelphia Avenue. Reports said she was spotted by vice officers flagging down cars and they stopped to investigate because she has several prostitution arrests in the past.

At the jail corrections officers found three doses of heroin and the crack cocaine. She faces drug and prostitution charges.
