Interesting case, just happened last night, features one of the subjects we frequently discuss here: reasons for being detained.
In this case, it appears the detainee may be the right guy, he'll get his day in court, but I noticed the wording in the newspaper article and thought it was worth posting.
One interesting thing... what is "a short distance away" to you? In this case, depending on where in the shopping center he was found, it's almost 3/4 of a mile, as Google draws the route by road, at least half a mile straight-line. In a downtown city setting, that doesn't seem to be a short distance to me. Just curious.
