Chinook used to be in house.
Back in the day I toiled as a security guard. From what I remember security was given care and control of the property which allowed that to arrest any criminal activity (summary or indictable). Unless it has changed a citizen back then could only arrest for indictable offenses (come to think of it, I vaguely remember hearing that it did change).
Bottom line you have to check your ego at the door or else you are looking for problems. If the guy is leaving the property you have to just walk away. Unless there is more to the story it looks like they jumped the gun for sure because waving/fingering or tossing a coffee cup isn't really grounds for arresting and detaining someone. Especially with that much force.
