The US police have arrested a man who planned to kidnap one of president Obama pet dogs

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.
