Cashman, 52, said in an interview with the New York Post that his white Jeep Wrangler had been stolen and returned to him but that the New York City police had not cleared the vehicle from its stolen-car database.
“I had a welcoming committee descend upon me as I pulled out of that gas station,” Cashman said.
According to Cashman, Darien cops were already “responding to someone in a white Jeep that was brandishing a gun in a local doctor’s office.”
To make matters worse, when Darien police ran Cashman’s license plates, the vehicle came up stolen because “the NYPD never took me off the stolen car list,” he said.
As Cashman pulled out of the gas station as many as five patrol cars zoned in on him and between six to nine officers got out of their cars with their “guns drawn,” he said.
“They executed a very tactful interception,” Cashman said.
“They’re clearly very professional and trained and they asked me to turn my car off, exit the vehicle, walk backwards towards them…they were executing their duty.”
Cashman said he was told to “not make any rash movements” as he exited his Jeep.
“They searched my car, asked for my ID,” he said. “I explained what was going on.”

At the end of the ordeal, Cashman and his car have been re-united, and the car is reportedly no longer on the stolen list. What are the odds?
