Two 20-year-old men were charged with soliciting without a permit on November 28 after residents reported them as suspicious persons.
Police charged Brett Arron Morris, 20, of Bridgeport TX and David E. Clark, 20, of Elkhart IN with soliciting without a permit after the two allegedly went door-to-door selling magazines. According to the Cornwall police, Morris told one resident that he had to speak with 100 people a day as part of a rehab program.
Cornwall Police Chief Todd Hazard said that magazine companies often recruit people from out-of-state and put them up in hotels for a few days to go through an area. He added that these kinds of incidents are not only a nuisance but can be an outright scam. Another group of people were charged with this violation over the summer.
The pair were both released on $50 bail each and ordered to appear in town court on December 14.
