Two black men who were arrested April 12 at a Starbucks coffee shop in Philadelphia while they were waiting to meet an acquaintance have reached a settlement with the city and will not pursue civil complaints against the police department.

The two men—Donte Robinson and Rashon Nelson—will accept $1 each as a token settlement, along with an apology from the city, which also has agreed to set aside $200,000 to fund a program aimed at assisting young entrepreneurs, according to news reports.

Neither the men's attorney, Stewart Cohen, of Cohen, Placitella & Roth in Philadelphia, nor city officials could immediately be reached for comment.

Robinson and Nelson were arrested April 12 at a Starbucks coffee shop in the Rittenhouse Square area of downtown Philadelphia as they waited to meet an acquaintance for a business meeting.

Starbucks workers called the police after the two sat down but did not immediately order anything.

The arrests led to national attention and protests against the chain and the city police department. The men were detained by police for several hours, but the District Attorney's Office eventually declined to press charges.

Videos of the arrest quickly went viral under the hashtag #WaitingWhileBlack, and, since that time, there has been a growing public outcry and call for action from city officials. The company's CEO issued an apology, met with the two men, and announced that all of the company's more than 8,000 stores will close briefly in May to conduct additional training.

According to media reports, Robinson and Nelson were waiting for local businessman Andrew Yaffe when they were arrested. They were planning to discuss a possible real estate deal, according to media reports.

The two men eventually retained Cohen regarding any possible civil actions.

At the brief press conference after the men retained Cohen, the attorney read a joint statement from him and Starbucks in which he said the men have “engaged in constructive discussions” with Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson about the issue.

“We have a situation—and the people at the center of it have come together with civility, common purpose and a willingness to listen and work towards a solution,” Cohen said. “Together we ask that the community respect this process. There will be more to follow.”

The city and the officers involved in the arrest could have faced claims of false arrest, battery and false imprisonment.

The arrests brought condemnation from Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney and others, including Reggie Shuford, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia City Councilman Kenyatta Johnson.

“Starbucks failed these men and all of its customers by treating them in this unfair and demeaning way,” Shuford said in a press statement. “Based on all eyewitness accounts, there was no need for police intervention. These men were terribly disrespected by Starbucks employees.”

At a press conference held soon after the incident, Kenyatta Johnson said he and other city officials had met with Kevin Johnson, but the councilman said he was not impressed and more needs to be done to ensure that businesses cannot engage in any discrimination.

“The meeting was all lip service. I'm not sold,” he told the crowd.
