‘Black Panther’ manager Ryan Coogler was mistakenly targeted in a bank robbery call

Bank employees think wrong Ryan Coogler He was organizing a robbery – so they called the police, and the famous manager ended up handcuffed … for a while.

According to an Atlanta PD report obtained by TMZ, Coogler was taken into custody after stopping in at Bank of America for a transaction back in January — a perfectly legal transaction, mind you, but that’s not the way a teller took it.

Coogler walked by in swinging shades and a COVID face mask — not uncommon, of course — but gave the cashier a checkout slip with a note written on his back.

We were told his message read, “I’d like to withdraw $12,000 in cash from my checking account. Please count the money elsewhere. I’d like to be conservative.” Understandable, given how much he was getting…but this led the cashier to think something suspicious was going down, and the cops were called in for an attempted burglary.

When the officers arrived, they locked two people waiting outside Ryan in an SUV – then got in and pulled RC himself out of the handcuffs.

After investigation, the police said this was just a fatal mistake…and the fault lay with the BoA employee, whom the report described as a pregnant black woman.

According to the report, when the teller went to make the transaction on his computer, it set off some kind of alert. So, she told her boss Coogler was trying to rob the bank, and they called 911.

In the end, the cops realized that this was a mistake, and that Ryan had done nothing wrong. Apparently Ryan wasn’t too happy…the report states that he dialed the badge numbers of all responding officers once everyone was released.

He’s been in GA a lot over the past year, filming a sequel to “Black Panther,” which itself was a drama-filled process with injuries to the cast and alleged talk of a COVID plot.
