The boy's mother, Shannon Blair, refused to leave and committed a trespass after warning, deputies said. Her boyfriend, Wesley Hucker, did the same and was arrested for trespassing after a warning and was transported to the Orange County Jail, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

The arrests happened while deputies were trying to "peacefully remove" the people protesting, the sheriff's office said. Deputies said about 15 people were protesting inside the store over what People for the Ethical Treatment of Aniamls (PETA) said was the upcharge for ordering vegan milk. Starbucks management said they wanted the protesters to be trespassed after refusing to leave the store, and they wanted to press charges, according to the sheriff's office.
