Alex Bevins seeks to defend Uptown Café against protective order filed by customer who claimed Muslims 'scare' her

Alex Bevins, the manager of Uptown Café in Noblesville, is preparing to defend the restaurant against a protective order filed by a customer who claimed that Muslims 'scare' her. The confrontation began when the customer asked if the restaurant was Muslim-owned and subsequently stated that Muslims were frightening to her, referring to a 15-year-old employee wearing a hijab. Bevins told the customer that her comments were not welcome and informed her that she would not be allowed to return to the restaurant. After the customer posted a video of the incident on Facebook, she filed a petition for a protective order, alleging that Bevins harassed and stalked her. The customer claims she received hundreds of negative comments online and feels she is in danger due to the Bevins' response. Bevins maintains that she did the right thing by speaking up for her young employee. She expressed hope that the community will learn not to judge people based on their appearance and emphasized that she believes 'right is right and wrong is wrong.'
