Both Ryan Coogler and Bank of America said this situation 'never should have happened.' The 'Black Panther' director also said that the bank 'worked with me and addressed it to my satisfaction and we have moved on.'
“Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler was arrested and put in handcuffs in January after a Bank of America employee mistook him for a bank robber.
The note and the large sum of money, which triggered an alarm on the banking system, appears to have made the Bank of America worker suspicious. The teller, described as a pregnant Black woman in the TMZ report, flagged the transaction for her supervisor. They called the police, and the authorities reportedly handcuffed Coogler and detained two other people who were waiting for the director outside in an SUV.
And Coogler released a statement to TMZ and Variety that read, “This situation should never have happened. However, Bank of America worked with me and addressed it to my satisfaction and we have moved on.”The news led “Ryan Coogler” to begin trending on Twitter TWTR, +5.06% with more than 4,000 tweets on Wednesday morning, with many on the social media site siding with the director.
