Stacy Sisco, 37, of Franklin, was arrested in February directly after delivering heroin to people she said were “sick.” One of them turned out to be a witness working alongside the Sussex County Narcotics TASK Force, NJHerald reports.

“I know what it’s like to be sick; they called me up crying,” Sisco said during a virtual Sussex County court appearance, the report said. “It was my mistake to help them out.”

Sisco, along with Tamarri Valentine, 34, and Joseph Bartek, 37, were arrested the same month, the report said.

She said Valentine supplied two bundles of heroin when she called him for a meeting between her and the customer on Jan. 30, the report says.

Sisco, who pleaded guilty to third-degree possession of CDS, was charged with four initial offenses and could’ve faced up to 15 years in prison if convicted, according to the report.

She has been involved with the Morris County Aftercare Center drug treatment program since March and will be sentenced on October 2, the report says.

Meanwhile, Valentine will appear in State Superior Court for a potential plea deal August 31 after police turned up 600 bags of heroin, ecstasy, marijuana, fentanyl, several digital scales, cutting agents used to dilute drugs, containers filled with glassine folds and other paraphernalia at a home he shared with his girlfriend and young child, the report says.
