during the rally.

He was released on bond just after midnight on Wednesday, hours after
pro-Palestinian protesters gathered at the Orient Road Jail calling for the ten
people arrested to be released.

In a press conference on Tuesday night, USF Police Chief Daniel Nelson said
dozens of protesters set up near Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza on campus for
Tuesday's rally, the same location where three people were arrested the day
before in similar protests.

The student group, ‘Tampa Bay Students for a Democratic Society’ organized the
event, but school officials gave them a 5 p.m. deadline to clear off school
property. 

PROTEST AT USF ENDS WITH 10 ARRESTS

Law enforcement arrested ten people on the campus of USF on Tuesday after
warning a crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters to disperse.

Eventually, law enforcement moved in with tear gas, warding off agitators after
USF police determined the protest was no longer peaceful, the university said. 

There is no word yet of the identity of the nine other protesters arrested in
Tuesday's rally. 

FOX 13's Regina Gonzalez is live from USF's Tampa campus Wednesday morning,
where there is no word yet if protests will continue into a third day. Chief
Nelson said that 5 p.m. deadline will carry over for any event held on
Wednesday. 

This is a developing story. Check back for details.
