A North Dakota man who allegedly travelled to the nation’s capital to kidnap a dog belonging to President Barack Obama has been arrested.

D.C. Superior Court documents say Secret Service agents interviewed Scott D. Stockert of Dickinson, North Dakota, after hearing from Secret Service agents in Minnesota that he was on his way to Washington to kidnap a “pet” owned by the first family.

Weapons found



Stockert was arrested after officials found weapons in his car. A search of his truck turned up a shotgun, rifle, ammunition, and other weapons. The court document says Stockert was not a registered gun owner. The first family has two Portuguese water dogs, Bo and Sunny.
