Adams was reported to have been walking around knocking on doors trying to sell “Back A Winner” magazines. He claimed that there were 12 other salesman in the area selling for the same company.
A similar arrest was made on Monday on the 200 Block of Juliette. Adam Zulegur, 26, of Valparasio, Indiana, was reported to have been walking around door to door selling magazines. When asked to show his permit, he could not produce one. He also reported that there were other salesman in the area selling magazines.
