I swear the good folks over at ScrewLife.Com could not make up a story this good.
A North Dakota man claiming to be Jesus Christ has been arrested by the Secret Service for travelling to Washington DC with a plan to kidnap one of the dogs belonging to the American first family.
“Scott Stockert was detained at a downtown Hampton Inn after U.S. Secret Service agents, acting on a warning from the Minnesota Field Office, found several unregistered weapons in his truck.” CNN reports.
The weapons cache included “a black 12 -gauge pump shotgun with a pistol grip, and a black bolt action rifle as well as 289 rounds of .22 caliber long rifle bullets, 71 rounds of 12-guage shotgun ammunition, and two rounds of .223 rifle ammunition, a machete with a 12 -inch blade, an 18 -inch billy club and a 28-inch barrel and a removable stock”- all unrengistered.
Stockert also told the agents that he is Jesus Christ, which he claimed can be verified by checking his driver’s licence. He also said that he is the son of John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe- and that he plans to run for President.
He would be charged with possession of an unregistered firearm and ammunition.
Like I said- sometimes reality is the best satire.
