Cops: Michigan Men Found Soliciting Without Permits

Two Michigan men were arrested last week for soliciting magazine subscriptions without a permit, said.

Police responded to a Sandy Hill Road residence Wednesday, July 18 at about 4:20 p.m., for a complaint of someone soliciting magazines without a permit, police said.

When police arrived, they found Ashnah Hopkins, 26, of Glennie, Mich., in the roadway walking away from the residence, according to police.

Officer Michael Sawyer issued Hopkins a local ordinance summons for soliciting without a permit, police said.

At about 5:30 p.m. the same day, a Dale Drive resident complained of someone soliciting magazines without a permit, police said.

Police said they found Jerel Davis, 23, of Glennie, Mich., in the driveway of a neighboring residence.

Sawyer issued Davis a local ordinance summons for soliciting without a permit, according to police.

Both men are scheduled in court in August to answer the charges.

According to Lt. Steven Hennelly, such solicitations  happen "every summer" and there is no scam intended in the solicitations.
