A man who had guts enough to try to kidnap one

of the pet dogs of US President, Barack Obama,
has had more than he bargained for.
Sunny and Bo (pictured) are walked every
morning on the lawn. 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
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.

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.
