Emprise Bank was correct in processing the check. Slips down a reader and something pings to alert them. Taking the people away in handcuffs was incorrect. Should have explained and handled it in an office away from the lobby.


Shame on Emprise Bank and the police department for their treatment of the Sattar Ali family. I am embarrassed for Wichita, and think Emprise Bank and the police department owe the Ali family more than an apology.
