Man Questioned Following Report of Suspicious Person Tries to Sell Services to Deputy

A deputy was dispatched to a Moonlight Trace residence in Winder on June 15 in reference to a report of a suspicious person going door to door in the neighborhood.

Never pass up an opportunity for a sale. 

This is apparently one Windstream employee's mantra, as the representative attempted to sell services to a deputy with the while being questions regarding a report of a suspicious person. 

About 7:50 p.m. June 15, a deputy was dispatched to a Moonlight Trace residence in Winder. Central communications advised a male was going door to door selling Windstream and Dish Network bundles.

Upon arrival, the deputy located a male wearing a Windstream polo shirt walking toward a residence. When the deputy approached the man, he was wearing a Windstream work ID badge that had his photo on it and carried several flyers for Windstream Merge in his cargo pocket.

"After I confirmed he was a Windstream employee he handed me a flyer and attempted to sell me a Windstream and Dish Network bundle," the deputy wrote in an incident report.

No details were included in the incident report on whether the deputy is considering purchasing the services.

I grew up in a Winder where doors were not locked and the town was full of folks shopping! SometimesRead More a moonshiner would get caught or the parking meter would run out of time and one would get a parking ticket by one of the three cops in town! Now I keep a weapon handy because of voices and footsteps on the pavement at night! Where are these people coming from and going to after one o'clock in the morning? Why does it take so long for a policeman to show up after a call is made,if they show up at all? I've watched nice homes on my street turn into dumps. They are rented by owners who are only interested in the money and not the quality of people who are renting. Yeah, I keep a weapon and it's loaded for a thief or prowler! When seconds count a cop is only several minutes away,if at all!
