In 20 16, allan gibson was working at his family owned business when a few oberland college students attempted a shoplift. Gibson chased the students out of the store where they attacked him. He called the police, and the students were arrested and pleaded guilty to shoplifting. Students at the school accused the bakery of raceism, leading to protests in a year's long legal battle between oberlandCollege and gibson's bakery. Now, almost six years later, oberland College has agreed to pay damages to gibson's.
