Yoko Ono's Driver Is Arrested For Blackmail

Yoko Ono�s personal chauffer has been arrested for allegedly attempting to blackmail his boss.

New Yorker, Koral Karsan, also allegedly threatened to kill Yoko unless she gave him $2million.

After working for Yoko for six years, he threatened to release personal photos and audio tapes of Yoko unless he was given the money.

However, his plan failed after Ono turned to the police who arrested Karsan on Wednesday.

As he was led away to a police station, Karsan was overheard saying: "No. No way."

A spokesperson for Yoko, Elliot Mintz said: "She is one woman who has been through enough,"

"For an employee - especially a trusted employee who drove her - to attempt a shakedown has left her just absolutely shocked."

Last week on the anniversary of her husband, John Lennon�s death, Karsan allegedly dropped off a letter and photograph at Yoko�s New York apartment.

In the letter Karsan claimed to have secretly photographed and recorded Yoko while driving her around and was going to turn them over to the press unless she handed over $2million.

I wonder what she was saying on the tapes that would make them worth $2million.
