Three persons were cited and one man physically arrested following a protest today at Starbucks, 3005 West End Avenue.
The apparent organizer of the event told officers that they objected to “upcharging for non-dairy milk”. All wore attire representing the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). There were approximately ten persons present, four of whom had their feet in rubber boots encased in concrete forms.
Officers responded to Starbucks at 8:50 a.m. and spoke at length to those involved working to resolve any issues and in support of a lawful protest. However, Daniel Bifano, 46, of Michigan, intentionally placed himself in the exit lane of the business, blocking traffic. He refused to comply with repeated requests for him to leave the property. He was taken into custody at 12:30 p.m. Bifano was one of the persons wearing rubber boots encased in concrete in order to hamper efforts to remove him from the property. Bifano is charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespass.
Two women, Emily Slayter, 39, and Norma Hernandez, 42, both of Las Vegas, were issued misdemeanor citations for disorderly conduct. They had also stepped into rubber boots encased in concrete and were blocking the entrance to Starbucks, but eventually agreed to step out of the boots and leave. Royce Gomez, 33, of New York, who was blocking the exit with Bifano, also agreed to step out of the boots and leave the premises. He was issued a misdemeanor citation for disorderly conduct and trespassing.
