The company issued an apology Sunday to a black woman after a white store manager called police, accusing her of trying to use a fake coupon.

The incident happened Friday night at a CVS in the 6100-block of North Broadway in the city’s Edgewater neighborhood.

The woman, Camilla Hudson, captured the incident on cellphone video, which shows manager Morry Matson visibly shaken as he talks to police on the phone.

Hudson said she was just trying to use a coupon for an item when the manager told her he couldn’t accept it and then accused her of handwriting the coupon.

Hudson wanted managers to call the corporate office for help on the issue. That’s when police were called.
