Becker Stalker Captured

Compiled From Wire Services

A man accused of threatening Boris Becker and the tennis star’s manager has been arrested, police said in Munich, Germany.

Becker took the threats seriously and kept his wife and young son out of Germany for months last year as more than 20 calls making threats and demanding money went to the Munich office of his manager, Axel MayerWoelden.

Police said the suspect, whose name was not released, is a 28-year-old resort worker, who confessed to the campaign of threats after becoming a suspect in another extortion case.
