Huntington Bank Calls Cops On Black Guy Trying To Cash His Paycheck
Huntington Bank Calls Cops On Paul McCowns Because They Thought His Paycheck Was Too High For A Black Person
Huntington Bank tellers refused to cash a black Ohio man’s paycheck from his new job. They also called 911 because they were suspicious that he earned so much money.
All Paul McCowns wanted to do is cash his first paycheck from his new job with an electric company. Unfortunately, Huntington Bank in the Cleveland suburb of Brooklyn had other ideas.
The paycheck was for a little more than $1,000. McCowns and tellers confirmed he showed two forms of identification and a fingerprint, as required for non-Huntington Bank customers.
However, McCowns said bank employees started looking at a computer screen and questioning the transaction. They ultimately refused to cash the check without speaking to his employer.
McCowns left the bank. However white Huntington Bank employees called 911 on him. A police squad car pulled in front of his truck before he could drive away.
