Reply to comment by trekkerscout in Oktoberfest in Leavenworth has changed a bit. by SleepyPendleton

Only the 2 with tan pants are security. The 3 with green pants are Chelan county sheriffs deputies. Look up what the patch looks like. Those security officers were just assisting the sheriffs.

That isn't proper procedure. Either the security officers make a citizen's arrest and the police/sheriff simply take custody after apprehension -or- the police/sheriff take charge of the scene and the security officers stand aside. The fact that the security officers are on the ground with the suspect typically means that they are making the arrest (and thereby taking full liability in the event of excessive force or false arrest).

Yeah I know that’s what’s interesting here. I am confused why there is only one deputy that’s involved in the apprehension while the others just watch him and the security guards.
