I don't get it, how does depositing a check become a police matter?
PS: It says cash first and deposit further down, I'm assuming deposit must be the correct part.

Edit: PPS. I know there is racism and this happens in USA, but the amount of amateur hour from the Banks procedure, to the people working there and the police responding to a non issue is mind numbing for a person coming from Denmark, where banks are run professionally, and the police almost is too.

Racist bank employees made it a police matter when they assumed he was passing a fraudulent check and called to have the guy arrested for being a negro in possession of money.

But how do they "assume" this? And why does the police accept it without any evidence?
I mean the amateurish incompetence is staggering.

Isn't it normal procedure to deposit the check until it's cleared?

Don't think it said anything about the police response other than that they were called to be fair.
