1. Ask him to explain himself
2. Execute the bandit scum
3. To the dungeons with him
4. Release him

If you ask him to explain himself he will either protest and defend himself or admit his guilt, you may following this ask the arresting guard for a statement which is usually a definitive way to tell if they are guilty or not, though it is random.

if you release him and he is a criminal you have a 50% chance of -1 public opinion, however if they are innocent you have a 50% chance of +1 public opinion, this is the same of executing or imprisoning him however if you imprison him you gain a prisoner regardless of his innocence.

The best option in this encounter is choosing to imprison them as you will never find out if they are truly guilty and thus cannot lose public opinion but gain a prisoner
