Yankees GM Brian Cashman Mistaken For Armed Car Thief, Police Reportedly Surround His Vehicle With Guns Drawn

DARIEN, Conn. (CBSNewYork) – The general manager of the New York Yankees had an interesting end to his work week after police in Connecticut surrounded his car with guns drawn in an incredible case of mistaken identity.

According to the New York Post, a chain reaction of poor communication led officers in Darien to believe that the Yankees GM was an armed suspect that had just threatened a local doctor’s office Friday.

To make matters even worse, Cashman was on his way to tell local police his Jeep Wrangler – which had recently been stolen – had been found by the NYPD.
