Jury Awards $3.3 Million to Man in Bank False Alarm Incident
A Miami-Dade jury has awarded a man $3.3 million in damages after ruling that a bank was negligent in triggering the silent alarm, then failing to cancel it when employees realized he was not a robber.
Rodolfo Valladares walked into an Aventura Bank of America to cash his $100 check. A jumpy bank teller, thinking he looked like a robber, hit a silent alarm.
