Oklahoma Man Sentenced to Five Years for Throwing Molotov Cocktail Into Donut Shop That Hosted Drag Event

An Oklahoma man was sentenced to five years in prison after he was spotted on security footage last year hurling a Molotov cocktail into a donut shop that had hosted a drag queen show.

Coby Green's charges carried a hate crime enhancement because he also had posted anti-LGBTQ flyers near The Donut Hole, local station KFOR reported.

Green, 25, tossed the device into the Tulsa-based business in the early hours of Halloween 2022 by first breaking its glass door with a baseball bat. It caused a fire that damaged the establishment, officials said.

Green previously had complained on social media about the shop hosting a drag night, according to a probable cause affidavit viewed by Law&Crime.

“Ok, it’s officially time to shine our boots and put on our armbands boys," he wrote. “This disgusting filth has got to go.”

The restaurant had been vandalized in a separate incident days earlier.

"I'm just sad they didn't molotov it," Green reportedly lamented online after hearing about the incident.

Green was accused of setting a different Tulsa County restaurant on fire in 2021, although those charges were dropped after a witness failed to appear, per KFOR.

Investigators discovered flyers inside Green's home that appeared to resemble those found near the Donut Hole, plus clothing and a lighter like those seen on surveillance footage.

The donut shop raised over $29,000 on GoFundMe in the wake of Green's firebombing attack.

He pleaded guilty to malicious use of explosive materials in August. He's set to spend five years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release.
