I don't think they would have arrested (or charged) him without SOME evidence -- more than likely a video. But a video from where is the question. The statement of the attorney, though, is puzzling. He said something like "he didn't INTEND to steal anything." That's a highly legal statement since intent is a required element of most crimes. If the video evidence showed the coach with the briefcase at the bar, he could say he found it, and the statement from his attorney should be "he didn't steal anything."
My guess is that the store video showed him walking out with it. Of course, his attorney knew he took it.
The video, from either source, is purely investigative. It won't be admissible in court unless someone can testify that it depicts what actually happened at that point and time. Unless they have other evidence, this case won't go further.
