A retired merchant marine suspected of using his small plane to stalk a woman for more than four years in Upstate New York denied knowing the victim Tuesday as he was arrested for the third time in a single week for allegedly tormenting her.
"I don’t know her, she’s crazy," Michael Arnold, 65, said of 42-year-old Cassie Wilusz on his way into Saratoga Town Court. He said he'd only eaten at her restaurant once and didn't return after coming down with food poisoning.
But Wilusz, who owns Revolution Cafe in the small village of Schuylerville, shared videos that allegedly show him circling her home in his plane and following her in his car.
Arnold was arraigned Tuesday on nine counts of criminal contempt that stem from an arrest on Friday for using a Facebook account with a fake name to allegedly harass her and threaten her daughter in violation of an order of protection.
As he left court, deputies slapped him in handcuffs again on a fresh stalking charge, according to the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office.
"I feel relieved that he's in custody at the moment," Wilusz told Fox News Digital in an interview at her cafe on Tuesday. "He hopefully realizes the time has come, and he has to actually answer to the charges."
Minutes later, Arnold was released on bail.
He was arrested on Oct. 3 at an airport in Vermont for repeatedly circling Wilusz's home in his single-engine Cessna in violation of an order of protection that banned him from flying, according to a release from the Bennington Police Department.
The FBI, which is now involved in the investigation, tipped off the local police. He was released on $5,000 bail.

Stalking and harassment or other criminal obsessive behavior often don’t have anything to do with the looks of the victim. She (or he) doesn’t have to be gorgeous, sexy, or even young. There’s a lot of anger and a desire to control—control not just the victim but the legal system. The more you try to ignore them or have them stopped legally or threaten them the worse it gets. Some stalkers continue e-stalking from prison after conviction. They won’t give it up for decades. Sometimes the only remedy is chambered in .45.
