— -- Chris Lollie was waiting in front of his kids’ day care to pick them up one day when the Minnesota man said a security guard approached him and started asking questions.

“He walked up to me and … asked me what I was doing there, and I told him, ‘I’m waiting for my kids,’” Lollie, 28, said.The guard called the police, which, initially, Lollie thought would help him.

“I was excited for the police to come, more or less just because I expected them to get there and say that I was in a public area and they had no reason to ask me to leave,” he said.
