Coogler was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and Covid mask on the day of the incident. The 35-year-old director handed the teller a withdrawal slip with a note written on the back. “I would like to withdraw $12,000 cash from my checking account. Please do the money count somewhere else. I’d like to be discreet,” the note reportedly read.
