You should stop, let him pass, and then start following him.

i think the extent of his power lies near if he tells you to leave and you don't then you are trespassing at which point he can call the real police.

Probably a lot less than he thinks he does.

if you commit a theft he has the right to detain you
if you commit a felony he has the right to detain you, a "citizen's arrest", the same as any citizen

La. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 215 Detention and arrest of shoplifters
quote:
A.(1) A peace officer, merchant, or a specifically authorized employee or agent of a merchant, may use reasonable force to detain a person for questioning on the merchant's premises, for a length of time, not to exceed sixty minutes, unless it is reasonable under the circumstances that the person be detained longer, when he has reasonable cause to believe that the person has committed a theft of goods held for sale by the merchant, regardless of the actual value of the goods. The merchant or his employee or agent may also detain such a person for arrest by a peace officer. The detention shall not constitute an arrest.
(2) A peace officer may, without a warrant, arrest a person when he has reasonable grounds to believe the person has committed a theft of goods held for sale by a merchant, regardless of the actual value of the goods. A complaint made to a peace officer by a merchant or a merchant's employee or agent shall constitute reasonable cause for the officer making the arrest.
