A man who tried to deposit a settlement check from a workplace racial discrimination lawsuit said he was again discriminated against for being black, this time by the bank, who called the police on him over accusations the check was fraudulent.
Sauntore Thomas, a 44-year-old in Detroit, told BuzzFeed News he had just confidentially settled the lawsuit against his former employer, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, when he went to a TCF Bank branch, where he was a customer.
Thomas told the bank staff at the location in Livonia, Michigan, that he would like to open a savings account, deposit his settlement money, and withdraw some cash.
Instead, the assistant bank manager told Thomas the check "verification system" wasn't working and that she'd have to "call in the checks." She went to the back of the bank to do so, before returning to say the staff member who verifies checks was not at their desk and she wasn't sure when they'd be back.
