Yankees GM Brian Cashman Mistaken for Car Thief by Connecticut Police Officers

A case of mistaken identity led to a tense situation involving New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.

According to the New York Post's Natalie Musumeci and Larry Celona, police in Darien, Connecticut, "drew their firearms" at Cashman believing him to be a suspect who flashed a gun at a local doctor's office.

Making matters worse, Cashman had reported his white Jeep Wrangler as stolen last week. Although authorities in New York found the vehicle and returned it to him, they failed to remove it from the official database of stolen cars.
