Of course, it may also have been he didn't believe you and it would have been exactly the same, but generally telling the truth in situations is the best way forward: to the officer it would have looked like you were being evasive, which = suspicious.
No excuse for failing to hand back your property though, that's poor.

Here is my big issue.
Innocent until proven guilty. Now my situation was different than the Ferguson one because Michael Brown was guilty of Jaywalking at the time of his confrontation. I did nothing wrong.
I will however bet you that at some point in his life Michael Brown had been harassed for doing nothing wrong. That doenst excuse his actions that night but I hope it offers some perspective.
