‘Plot to kidnap one of Obama’s dogs’ stopped by Police
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.
