The men say they were not disturbing any shoppers, but their presence apparently caused enough of a disruption for one Macy's employee to report them to mall security. When security approached them in the food court, Downs and his son were asked to remove their shirts. Roger Downs complied, but when Stephen Downs wouldn't, he was told to leave the mall. When he refused, he was arrested for trespassing. heraldtribune.com According to statements given to the police, a customer complained to Macy's security Monday that Downs and his 31-year-old son, Roger, were arguing with a group of individuals and "was afraid of what might happen." A mall security officer asked them to remove their shirts, the statements read, but the elder Downs refused. Downs, an attorney, denied confronting anyone. Police Chief James Murley said: "We don't care what they have on their shirts, but they were asked to leave the property, and it's private property." heraldtribune.com
