On today's date, at approximately 5:15 p.m., police were notified by a citizen on West Mill Street of a suspicious person who approached her. The incident occurred around 4:45 p.m. The subject knocked on her door and made reference to being with either the county or the power company, and how she had not checked a certain box on her power bill, which could save her money. The individual wanted to come into the house so he could show her how to check the correct box. The complainant denied him access to the residence. He was last seen on foot, westbound in the 300 block of W. Mill.
