GALESBURG - Six men from several states were arrested Tuesday after allegedly harassing a woman for not buying magazines they were selling door to door.
Police arrested Joseph D. Henry, 20, of Seattle; Ian S. McNee, 19, of Belding, Mich., Robert J. Buszta, 23, of Rice, Minn., Travis J. Crull, 19, of Jerseyville, Ill., Devin D. Rainey, 20, of Flemington, Mo., and William J. Schauer, 21, of White Bear Lake, Minn., for not having a peddler's license.
Police were called to the 1200 block of Losey Street, where a woman said two of the men came to her home and tried to sell her magazines from United Subscription Agency Inc., a Florida-based company.
When she refused, she said the men used profanities toward her.
Police found all six men in the area and offered to give them administrative tickets for not having the license, but they declined and were taken to the Knox County Jail.
Police said the men's supervisor, Michael R. Rodriguez, went to the police station and argued with officers about the merits of having a peddler's license.
Police plan to ask the City Clerk's Office not to issue licenses to anyone representing the business.
All six men were released Tuesday night and given notices to appear in court.
