Black Panther director Ryan Coogler was mistaken for bank robber and ARRESTED after a passing note to pregnant Bank of America cashier asking them to withdraw $12,000 from his account and count it 'discreetly'
Black Panther director Ryan Coogler was mistaken for a bank robber and briefly arrested in January after walking into a Bank of America in Atlanta wearing sunglasses, a hat and a mask and asking the cashier to 'discreetly' withdraw $12,000 from his account.
The incident occurred sometime in January but was revealed by TMZ on Wednesday morning. Coogler, 35, walked into the bank wearing a green hoodie, black beanie and sunglasses.
He passed the cashier a note which read: 'I would like to withdraw $12,000 CASH from my checking account.
It remains unclear why he needed the money, or why two others had driven him there in an SUV to retrieve it.
'Please do the money count somewhere else. I'd like to be discreet.'
The note spooked the cashier, who was described in the police report as a 'pregnant black woman'.
She called police claiming Coogler was a bank robber.
Police arrived and detained two people who were waiting for him in an SUV parked outside.
TMZ reports that they then went inside the bank and placed Coogler in handcuffs too.
Once they realized it was a misunderstanding, they let him go.
