According to the news of the ‘Variety’ website, Ryan Coogler has confirmed this news. He told that the incident happened in the month of January. ‘It should never have happened,’ Ryan explained. But Bank of America spoke with me, apologized and I am satisfied with their behavior. We have now forgotten this and moved ahead.
Ryan arrived with a hat and glasses
According to the Atlanta Police report, a 35-year-old filmmaker was detained at the bank. The incident happened on 7 January. The filmmakers had gone to withdraw money from the bank. They were not only taken into custody, they were also handcuffed. During this, Ryan had put on a hat. He had glasses on his eyes and in view of the risk of Kovid-19 infection, he also applied a face mask.
Withdrawal of around Rs 9 lakh
The police report gives full details of the incident. Accordingly, Ryan reached the counter of the bank and forwarded a slip to withdraw the money. It was written on it that he wants to withdraw $ 12,000 (about 9 lakh rupees) from his account. Also, it was written on the slip that please count the money elsewhere, as he wants to keep his identity a secret.
…and the alarm started ringing
According to the rules, when the withdrawal amount in the bank crosses 10 thousand dollars, then an alarm is sounded. The banker sitting at the counter mistook the alarm as something else. He got flustered and told his officer that the bank was being robbed. After this the police came on seeing there. When the police reached there, they saw a black colored luxury Lexus SUV car parked outside the bank. The engine of the car was on and two people were sitting inside. Among them were a woman and a man.
Police also caught friends sitting in the car outside
When police interrogated the two people in the car, they told that they were waiting for filmmaker Ryan Coogler. The police asked them about the filmmaker. This appearance was exactly the same, which was being told as a robber inside the bank. The police immediately took Ryan Coogler’s accomplices into custody as accomplices of the robbery. However, police later released him and his accomplices after confirming the identity of Ryan Coogler inside Bank of America.
