Obama’s Uncle arrested

Look who’s back! President Barack Obama‘s long-lost uncle Onyango Obama (A.K.A. ”Uncle Omar“) has been arrested for drinking and driving just outside of Boston and has also been detained as an illegal immigrant.

The elder Obama, 67, was arrested outside the Chicken Bone Saloon in Framingham, Massachusetts at 7:10 p.m. EDT on August 24, 2011. According to police, he almost crashed his Mitsubishi SUV into a police car, then insisted the officer should have yielded to him.

Uncle Omar reportedly blew a 0.14 on his breathalyzer test, which is above the state limit of 0.08.

Obama was charged with DUI and driving to endanger, as well as failing to use a turn signal. He was then detained as an illegal immigrant due to the fact that the U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement has an outstanding warrant for him because he was previously ordered deported to Kenya.

In his 1995 memoir, “Dreams of My Father”, President Obama refers to “Uncle Omar” as “the uncle who had left for America 25 years ago and had never come back”.

Obama pleaded not guilty at his remand hearing, but was held in custody due to the immigration warrant.
