BANKING WHILE BLACK: CHASE CALLS COPS ON MAYOR RICHARD THOMAS WHILE PROFESSIONALLY AND PEACEFULLY INQUIRING ABOUT MOUNT VERNON CITY'S SIGNATURE ACCOUNT

Mount Vernon Mayor Richard Thomas

Nationwide --  On Monday, Mayor Richard Thomas discussed how staff at JP Morgan & Chase summoned the police on him, his staff member, and a Mount Vernon Police detective as the Mayor sought to deposit a six figure check and get access to the City's online banking records. 

A Chase employee called the police on Wednesday, April 25, after Mayor Thomas was invited into a conference room and after Mayor Thomas had introduced the two people with him, including the police detective.

The response by the White Plains Police Department was resolved amicably after one of the responding officers recognized the Mount Vernon Police detective.

Mayor Thomas believes that race certainly played a role in the Chase employees calling the police. The two staffers who accompanied Mayor Thomas are black and Hispanic.
