Black Panther director Ryan Coogler arrested after being mistaken for bank robber
Black Panther director Ryan Coogler was mistaken for a robber when trying to withdraw money from his bank.
The filmmaker was detained by Atlanta police after a bank teller wrongly thought he was committing a robbery.
Coogler walked into the bank wearing sunglasses and a face mask, handing the teller a slip with a note asking for a “discreet” withdrawal.
The teller then called the police believing a robbery was taking place with police placing Coogler and two other people in handcuffs, before letting them all go.
