Looks like Yankees fans might have one less place to score a plate of pricey french fries—troubled restaurant and sports bar Mickey Mantle's could be evicted from its Central Park South space by the end of next month. The 25-year-old eatery, which was briefly owned by its slugger namesake before his death in 1995, was put into bankruptcy by current owner Chris Villano a few months ago.

One hundred and sixty other officers have also been implicated in the probe, and may be forced to testify against other cops when it goes to trial.
