TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNW) — A Topeka man has been ordered to pay more than $18,000 in restitution for violating the Kansas Consumer Protection Act and Kansas Roofing Registration Act.

Kevin Wilkinson, who does business as Topeka Roofing and Gutters, LLC, agreed to a judgment to repay 12 customers a total of $18,268.29 in restitution. In addition, a Shawnee County judge ordered Wilkinson to pay $6,731.71 in civil penalties.

The Attorney General’s office filed a petition in April 2021 with the court, alleging that Wilkinson specifically violated the door-to-door sales act provision of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act. A copy of the judgment can be found here.
