We're going to need President Barack Obama to get his people under control...
According to reports, President Obama's uncle was stopped on suspicion of drunken driving, told police he planned to arrange bail through the White House and was being held without bail by immigration officials.
Reports state that Onyango Obama was arrested last week in Framingham, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston, after police said he made a rolling stop through a stop sign and nearly caused a cruiser to hit his sport utility vehicle.
MSNBC.com reports:
Police said that after being booked at the police station, Obama was asked whether he wanted to make a telephone call to arrange for bail.
"I think I will call the White House," he stated, according to a police report filed in Framingham District Court.
Police said Obama, who's originally from Kenya and is the half-brother of the president's late father, pleaded not guilty Friday and was being held without bail on a detainer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In a court document, ICE said he had an earlier deportation or removal order.
Obama, 67, was charged with operating under the influence of alcohol, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and failure to yield the right of way.
Onyango must have thought namedropping the President would be a "get out of jail free" card.
