Man Wins Discrimination Lawsuit, Bank Calls The Cops On Him

He thought that everything had finally been put behind him. After enduring outrage and a tedious, exhausting lawsuit, he had the settlement check in his hands, and he was ready to cash it in.

He handed the assistant manager the check while he spoke to her. After looking at it, she eyed him suspiciously and disappeared into her office. She was gone for a few minutes before six police officers came rushing into the bank to surround him.

It Was Just The Beginning

When he walked into the bank looking to cash his check, he never thought he’d be treated differently from any other man. The assistant manager, however, would surprise him.

This scene had caused an uproar in the media, but the reactive commentary was only the peak of Dejuan’s ordeal. It had gone on a year before he thought his troubles were behind him. Little did he know that it was just the beginning.

Years In The Air Force

Dejuan had spent years in service as a tactical aircraft maintenance specialist in the Air Force before deciding he needed a change. He left the corps and went in search of a civilian job.

All those years in the military had left him feeling tired and burnt out. But that wasn’t all. There was a more personal reason behind why he left.

Away From Home

Dejuan had recently become a father to his 3-year-old girl, Alexia. Keisha, his wife, had always understood that Dejuan working in the Air Force meant he was doing his part for his family and his country.

But Dejuan grew tired of being away from home for so long. His long hours left him tired, meaning he risked his life whenever he was deployed to a foreign country in conflict. He wanted to be a present in Alexia’s life and to watch her grow up. So he made a decision one day that changed his life.

Finding A Job

After retiring from the Air Force, he started looking for a job where his family lived in Detroit. It was his hometown too.

It wasn’t long before Dejuan found a job. His experience in the Air Force meant that he was disciplined and extremely capable, which led him to a job at the Detroit airport. But he would soon realize that things weren’t always greener on the other side.
