It turns out you can’t actually say anything to John Cusack. A woman who was previously accused of stalking the actor was arrested on Sunday for violating a restraining order after police picked her up outside Cusack’s Malibu home.

Officers were called to Cusack’s neighborhood after a taxi driver reported that his passenger was refusing to pay, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Cusack arrived on the scene and pointed out that the woman in the cab was Emily Leatherman, who has been prohibited from coming with 500 feet of him.

Sheriff's spokesman Officer Steve Whitmore said Leatherman was arrested and booked on charges of violating a restraining order and petty theft. She was being held on $150,000 U.S. bail.

In 2006, Cusack obtained a three-year restraining order against Leatherman, a 33-year-old transient from Santa Monica. Cusack's application for the order claimed that she "threatens to commit acts of violence against herself if I do not help her" and that she’d thrown letters "over my fence in bags with rocks and screwdrivers inside".

Screwdriver-spiked love letter? Whatever happened to getting someone’s attention by rousing them with Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes” blaring from a boombox? Nobody appreciates the classics anymore.
