Acquitted – Friday, Judge Thomas A. Cannon Jr. ruled in that way for third-year Ball State student Cooper Archer on two counts of disorderly conduct in Circuit Court 5 at The Delaware County Justice and Rehabilitation Center. The Judge said Archer did “a stupid thing,” but his speech was protected, and he told Archer to “please learn a life lesson.” Archer was one of five arrested during the Feb. 28 Board of Trustees meeting, when members of the University Police Department (UPD) removed a group of protesters. The five students – Joseph Souza, Kiwani Bassett, Jaina Dodds and Archer, along with alumnus Zoe-Rose Dieguez – disrupted a lawful Board of Trustees meeting by yelling, after being warned to stop, they were removed. All were charged March 7 with two misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct: one for disrupting an assembly and one for making “unreasonable noise.”
Archer’s not-guilty verdict is the first development in the cases, which the DN say fall under Indiana’s disorderly conduct statute and carry potential penalties of up to 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine, according to Justia U.S. Law.
Archer told the student run Ball State Daily News he feels “really happy” and “justified.”
