NY deal for Alec Baldwin stalking suspect delayed

(AP) A possible plea deal in New York for a Canadian actress accused of stalking Alec Baldwin has been postponed.

Genevieve Sabourin (JEHN'-uh-veev SAB'-oo-rihn) appeared Thursday in a Manhattan court. But her case was adjourned until April 8 as she and prosecutors try to hammer out a deal.

She and Baldwin met on the set of the 2002 sci-fi comedy The Adventures of Pluto Nash. Baldwin says they had dinner together in 2010.

Police originally arrested Sabourin after authorities said she had implored Baldwin to see and to marry her in emails sent only days after he became engaged to yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas. She later spent a night in jail after she was accused of sending Thomas a Twitter message.

Baldwin and Thomas married and are expecting their first child together.
