Turned out to be some Hindu good luck charm/holy ashes/something that had broken open in the owner of the wallets book bag, and the wallet fell out of his pocket without out him realizing.
I can understand someone being concerned about the object and reporting it. I don't see why they saw fit to charge the individual when there was clearly no malicious intent involved.
From the article:
The incident cost the Park Grill restaurant thousands of dollars after police ordered diners to evacuate without paying their bills, restaurant staff said.
Some rich guy didn't make as much money as he wanted to that day. Someone has to pay for that.

Where in the article does it say the owner of Park Grill restaurant is a "rich" guy?
And what about all the people that worked there that day, shouldn't they get paid?
Any lawyer worth his/her salt will get the kid acquitted.
Makes about as much sense as this laughable garbage.

That article doesn't mention that the owners of the Park Grill restaurant are rich, but this article doesn't put them in the nicest (or modest) of lights.

Owners Matthew O’Malley and Mayor Daley’s friend Fred Barbara...
Well, even if they're not rich...

My favorite part was:
Opened in 2003, the restaurant landed in the spotlight in 2005 when the Sun-Times reported that a Park District official became pregnant by O’Malley during lease negotiations for the site.

Chicago-style politics.
"Chicago-style" politics really aren't as bad compared to the rest of the nation as people make them out to believe.
Only because the President is from Chicago.
(Yes, that really was a joke)Which says less about Chicago and more about the rest of the nation, unfortunately.
Sadly, politicians tend to take the worst aspects of history (and local politics) and run with them at the national level...

Pretty much. Even though it was a harmless accident and misunderstanding it did interrupt many businesses it seems as well as use up lots of time and effort from law enforcement which probably could have been used elsewhere. With our society such actions get deemed a crime of at least misdemeanor levels. It sucks but that's the way things are.
The big question I have about the story is what blanking Dr. Who prop looks like two bricks with tape and wires?!?!?!?!?! I'm a big Dr. Who fan and I can't think of one damn thing from the series that looks like two bricks taped together and with lots of wire.....

Businesses get interrupted all the time for things like that. Bomb squads respond to thousands (if not more) of calls every year that turn out to be nothing. Every single owner of the suspect item does not get charged with a crime. Should someone be arrested every time police or fire department or EMTs are called out and not needed? If no one else is responsible, does responsibility default to the caller?
Remember when AS got in an assload of trouble cuz their viral marketing campaign for the ATHF movie scared a bunch of idiots into thinking a friggin' cartoon character sign flippin' the bird was a bomb? Yeah, people are scared, stupid fools.

+1 That's some crappy cosplay, IMO. Grounds for arrest!! ;)
And yeah, I remember the AS scare. I think that the guys knew that it was going to cause a stir, but I don't think they thought it was going to be that much of a stir!
Hopefully, this guy will either have the charges dropped, or be found not guilty. Unfortunately, he'll probably be pressed to make a plea and end up reinforcing this kind of stupid behavior.

Or learn to cosplay better!

Its all about control. They just want you to get used to being arrested and having no rights. That way when they declare "An economic emergency" or "Aliens have landed, martial law everybody!" everyone will be used to being controlled and very few will resist...

arresting nerdy freaks who dress up as TV show characters is the spearhead of a plot to subdue the mainstream populace? How does arresting one guy with a bad Dr. Someone prop get people in general used to having no rights? Last I checked, noone was ever deemed to have the right of 'not getting arrested when suspected of wrong doing' aside from diplomats and such.

You have to couple it with all the other weird arrests going on, like the garden lady getting arrest for a gardin in her front yard or the guy with the camera getting arrested when the cops call it a 'gun' just to get the guy off the street for a couple days. When you tally up all the arrests like this a picture begins to emerge...
