circumstances that such person does not have permission to be in such
place, such peace officer may forthwith arrest such person without a
warrant on the charge of violating the provisions of such section or
such employee may forthwith turn him over to a peace officer, who may
arrest him without a warrant on the charge of violating the provisions
of such section.
