On that day, Lovett entered the mall and was asked by security to show identification because no one under 18 was allowed inside the mall past a certain time. Lovett could not show ID, so the officers asked him to leave, which he did. As Lovett was leaving, he began causing a scene. A few moments later, Lovett reappeared and attempted to walk past security without showing his ID.
