Re: The St. Petersburg Times version paints a different story
The story painted by the woman doesn't wash. She says:

"He (Douglas) said, "All right, you want to talk on your cell phone, let's go right now.' " Harris said. "I said, "Okay, but we're going to get our money back.'

But she *also* says:

"I talked to my mom for maybe a minute," she said. "And nobody around me complained or said anything. My mom could barely hear me. When I saw the officer coming up the stairs, I hung up on her."

Which is it? Either she was talking on the phone and would only leave if she got her money back, *or* she wasn't talking on the phone when the officer arrived. Obviously, if she had hung up when she saw the officer, the officer would've had no reason to talk to her at all, aside from the usual "Is everything okay here?" The story just doesn't fit the way people ordinarily behave.
