Connecticut police Wednesday released body-camera footage showing officers making a gunpoint stop of New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman, whose car had been recovered but was still listed as stolen. "Driver turn off your car and put your hands up!," the Darien police officer yells on the video, which shows him pointing his pistol in Cashman's direction during Friday's confrontation at a gas station there. A Darien police detective also had his weapon trained in Cashman's direction during the stop. "Don't move," the detective warns.

The confrontation came after police responding to a report of a man with a gun who had been seen driving a white Jeep spotted Cashman's vehicle — which incorrectly was still listed as stolen despite having been recovered by New York police days earlier. "Put your hands out the window!," the officer yells toward Cashman's Jeep Wrangler, the video shows. "Open your door with your hand from the outside, please!" yells the cop, who had raced to the Shell Station in his patrol car after the Jeep was reported as being there. The video shows Cashman, 52, calmly getting out of the Jeep, his hands raised. Then, at the instructions of police, Cashman turned around facing in the opposite direction of the police, and walked backward toward them, with his hands outstretched. "You look very familiar to me," the officer says after Cashman goes to get his identification from inside the Jeep. The GM had explained that he had picked up the car found by New York police two days earlier. "I'm the GM of the New York Yankees," Cashman replies. "Yeah, I know, I used to see you at Brook Street Bagels when I was an Eastchester cop," the officer says. "I apologize for the embarrassment," the cop adds.

A detective explains to Cashman what led to the stop. "Now you got a story for the guys," the detective said, in an apparent reference to the Yankees. The Bronx Bombers executive had reported his Jeep stolen a week earlier from his home in nearby Norwalk, Connecticut. After it was recovered by the NYPD and returned to Cashman, New York cops never removed the vehicle from a list of stolen vehicles.

Cashman told Hearst Connecticut Media on Monday that he was headed to the Norwalk Police Department to have the Jeep checked for evidence when he was stopped by Darien cops. "I started to pull out when two SUVs from Darien Police blocked me from exiting from the front, and they closed the Post Road," he said. "They asked me if I was driving my vehicle because it was still reported as stolen," he said. Cashman told the outlet that he got out "without rash movement" as officers instructed.
