Thanks Ozarks Lawyer..
Also..I didnt sign any paper work in there, simply because the
2 bottles of cologne that i attempt to take were around $60
each..yet in the paper work it lists them as $110 each..its
standard bottle that everyone sells and the prince is well
know.
here is what also happened..in other room the 2 security were
talking to each other and one said to the other : if denise
was here ( aka Manager) she would have for sure said to let
him go...

can the prince thing be brought up in court?
what are my chances to bring up any of that in court?
Also, what if i asked for a lie detecting test..since i never
left the store with the items?
Thanks.
