Accused Stalker Of Yankees' Brian Cashman Due In Court Weds.

NEW YORK (WFAN/AP) -- A woman charged with extorting $6,000 from Yankees general manager Brian Cashman may be about to find out what a grand jury thinks of the case.

Louise Neathway is scheduled to be in a Manhattan court Wednesday to learn whether she's been indicted. Her lawyer didn't immediately return a call this week.

Neathway is being held on $300,000 bond on grand larceny, stalking and other charges. She denies allegations of threatening to damage Cashman's reputation to get him to pay her.

"How can (Cashman) deny that we had a relationship when the doorman in my building saw him all the time when he took me out to eat?" she said in a jailhouse interview with the New York Post last month. "We went out together."

Neathway is a British native. She also goes by Louise Meanwell.

She has a history of arrests on similar charges. A Manhattan judge last month reinstated one of those cases, a 2010 harassment allegation. It had been on track to be dismissed if she avoided rearrest.

What do you think of the charges? Sound off below...
