3 more UF students arrested during Pro-Palestinian protests accept plea deals

Three more University of Florida students arrested earlier this year during pro-Palestinian protests on campus have accepted plea agreements to misdemeanor criminal charges and will pay a small fine with no jail time.

The three students — including one who is Jewish — each signed deferred prosecution agreements Monday they negotiated with the State Attorney’s Office offering to drop their criminal cases in six months if they were not arrested again, pay $150 in court fees and donate $150 to specific children’s charities.

All the students remain suspended from enrolling at UF and banned from campus for three years.

Two other students arrested during the protests also signed plea agreements weeks ago with the same conditions.

A sixth UF student, Allan Hektor Frasheri, 21, of Largo, was accused of spitting on a police officer as they arrested his classmates and faces a felony battery charge. His next courtroom hearing is Sept. 18.
