I don't see that as anything major. He most likely didn't have the money on him to get out of the parking structure so he attempted to move the parking-arm out of the way. The video cameras caught the incident and now they are trying to locate him. That doesn't make it OK, but at least he didn't get in a fight with the Hockey team or sell a bunch of stolen computers...
