US police have arrested a man who allegedly
plotted to kidnap one of President Obama's two
pet dogs.
Officials say Scott Stockert - who is from the
state of North Dakota - was planning to snatch
one of the dogs, either Bo or Sunny.
Police in Washington DC found weapons in Mr
Stockert's vehicle, including a shotgun, a rifle and
a machete.
Agents say he made several outlandish claims
during his arrest, including that he intended to
run for president.
He also said he was the son of former President
John F Kennedy and actress Marilyn Monroe,
according to court documents.
Mr Stockert has been charged with violating the
District of Columbia's gun laws.
The First Family acquired Bo in 2009, with Sunny,
referred to by the family as Bo's "little sister",
following in 2013.
