Female, age 63, MadisonDetails
Madison Police gave a verbal warning Tuesday to a 30-year old Madison woman who has reportedly been going door-to-door soliciting without a canvasser's permit. A 63-year old woman said the suspect contacted her in the 4600 block of Easley Lane around 12:40 p.m. and requested money for a cab ride to Verona, saying something about needing help "for a domestic situation." The woman gave the suspect a little over $1. Two other callers also contacted the MPD Tuesday about a solicitor matching the suspect's description. One said the woman came to her Marquette St. area door around 5:30 a.m. saying she had been in a "domestic." She asked for a drink of water and money to get to her grandmother's house in Gary, Indiana. Around the lunch hour, an employee of a Milwaukee St. area dental office called saying a solicitor was asking for money, claiming to be pregnant, and saying she had been in a "domestic." The solicitor also stated she needed to get to Verona. When a MPD officer contacted the suspect on Easley La., she refused any help, including a ride, and was not at all happy about being contacted by police. The officer alerted his peers to the situation saying they should feel free to cite the woman in the future, if she should continue soliciting, as she has now been warned.Released 07/19/2012 at 10:55 AM by PIO Joel DeSpain
