Rob Brown, star of ‘Treme,’ says he was arrested at Macy’s after buying mom watch

The actor has filed a lawsuit against the retailer, alleging he was ‘paraded’ through the Herald Square location in handcuffs and placed in a holding cell after making a purchase — for no reason other than an employee there was skeptical his credit card was really his. Brown has starred in blockbusters like 'Finding Forrester,' 'Coach Carter,' and had a role in 'The Dark Knight Rises'.

Another black Barneys shopper accused of credit card fraud after buying $2,500 purse:

Kayla Phillips, 21, says she was swarmed by four plainclothes cops after using her debit card to buy a $2,500 orange suede Céline bag. Her experience is eerily similar to that of Trayon Christian, 19, who filed a discrimination suit this week accusing Barneys and the NYPD of racial profiling.
