Do you think this is an example of racism? Customer tries to cash bank check, ends up in jail Chase issues apology for unfounded suspicions over its own cashier's check Ikenna Njoku of Auburn, Wash., says he was mistakenly jailed for four days after he tried to cash a Chase cashier's check at a Chase bank branch. Tha bank has apologized. For 28-year-old Ikenna Njoku, what should have been the simple act of cashing a check turned into four days in jail and the loss of his car and job. A year ago Njoku, a construction worker, had just purchased his first home and qualified for a federal rebate for first-time home buyers on his tax return. He says he requested to have the rebate deposited directly into his Chase bank account in Auburn, Wash., but when the IRS rebate arrived, he found out that Chase had closed his account because of overdrawn checks. The bank deducted $600 to cover what he owed and mailed Njoku a cashier's check of $8,463.21 to make up the difference. When Njoku arrived at the bank to cash the Chase check, he says the teller immediately became suspicious. “When I walked in, the teller looked me up and down and asked if I worked for Chase,” he said. “She asked me questions like where did I get the check from. I sat there for half an hour while they researched the check.” read more........... today.msnbc.msn.com
