24th Street. Good. I just had somebody call from number 20 Hale Street. They said a male subject showed up at their door, claiming to be from Eversource, wanted to look at one of their bills, stating that he wanted to lower their rates. She said he had a clipboard with him an orange shirt on a white baseball cap, and he left in a white or silver, smaller SUV. Probably 15 minutes ago. She's not sure which way he left after that. 10-5. Were they looking to speak with me or just giving us a heads up on the info? They're just giving me info. She's assuming he's going to try and knock on other people's doors. She said he did have, like, something around his neck, but it did not say Eversvers. It had, like, a different company on it. That both.
