I went to the St. Louis Arch the other day, and had a small pocket knife I carry with me almost everywhere. I saw a sign that said no weapons could enter the Arch, so I hid the knife in a small cabinet by the front door where they have literature about the Arch. When I left, I went to look and found no knife. It was no big deal, so I'm leaving and I'm telling my little brother it's not there when I'm approached by one of the security guys there. He overheard me and I was honest and told him what happened, so he gives me a federal citation for 'Abandonment of Property'. They never saw or found the knife, all they know is I said I did it. The security guy was being a jerk and treating me like a criminal that was leaving grenades around or something, and was obviously on a power trip and needed excitement. Now I can pay $125 or go to court, I plan to go to court but can anybody give me any advice on this? How to fight it? Anybody had this problem before? Thanks
