Police Arrest Yankee GM's Alleged Stalker

A Manhattan woman was arraigned in Criminal Court Thursday after being arrested for stalking and stealing from Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman, according to reports.

36-year-old Louise Neathway, who also goes by the name Louise Meanwell, faces charges of grand larceny and aggravated harassment after allegedly extorting $6,000 from Cashman and attempting to take the GM for $15,000 more.


While the Yankees have not yet commented, according to ESPN Cashman's spokesman said "Mr. Cashman is very grateful that this matter is in the hands of law enforcement."

The sports gossip site Deadspin published an interview Thursday detailing an alleged affair between Cashman and a woman referred to as 'Lou'. She claimed that Cashman would give her game tickets and sleep at her apartment a couple times a week. They also published photos of a toothbrush and a pair of pajama bottoms Lou claimed were Cashman's. She even provided an audio recording of a message she said Cashman left her, "Hey Lou, it's Brian Cashman," a male voice says, "Hope you're doing well."

According to Lou, who the NY Daily News reported is really Louise Neathway, she broke off the relationship with Cashman after he refused to legally separate from his wife of 16 years, Mary. "I'm finished with him destroying my life and his family," she told Deadspin.
