Good Morning,
Those who were arrested in last week’s protest can get a free cup of joe at Donkey Coffee and Espresso.
An anonymous customer opened a tab to pay for the coffee of the roughly 70 protesters detained by police in Baker Center last week, Becky Sirc, an employee of the coffee shop, told The Post.
Those who were charged can bring their citations to Donkey Coffee all week to receive a free drink, Sirc said.
Last week’s arrests have led to additional unrest, including a “sing-in” in Baker Center, the cancellation of President Roderick McDavis’ farewell address, and faculty calling for OUPD to drop charges against those arrested.
