(KNZA)--Questionable claims of energy company representation made by a door-to-door solar panel salesman is drawing concerns, with Brown County Sheriff John Merchant saying "multiple county residents" have reported being visited by the man.

According to Merchant, the salesman's pitch to whoever answers the door allegedly includes the dubious claim that he's representing Evergy, "and then proceeds to try and sell the resident solar panels."

Although he says "there doesn't seem to be any danger presented" by the salesman, Merchant says "it sounds as though the man is not being quite honest," and wants "to visit with this individual personally."

Anyone who encounters the salesman is told to contact the Sheriff's Office immediately, at 785-742-7125.
