Yankee GM Alleged Stalker Due in Court

She denies allegations of threatening to damage Brian Cashman's reputation to get him to pay her.

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

Meanwell 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. 

Meanwell 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.

Meanwell is a British native.
