Again, and its merely my guess, is that he did something overtly against mall policy and when asked to stop became beligerent and non conforming to the guards request...at which time everything escalated to where things are now.

My point was just that the issuance of a summons doesn't mean anything on its own. It doesn't, for instance, reflect that the police actually believed he was guilty of an offence, or even that there was any evidence other than the word of the guards.
In any case the summons was for littering, wasn't it? I could be wrong about that, but if it was then it is totally unhelpful to the guards. Even real cops don't have the authority to treat someone that way on the basis of observing a bylaw offence.
