Man Asked For Access To Obama’s Bank Account Because He Was Adopted Through Facebook

While it’s true President Obama is well
known for giving out stimulus money, he’s
probably not generous enough to adopt a
grown man and give him access to his
family’s bank account. But that’s what one man hoped a Bryan,
Texas bank would believe when he told a
teller he was the newly-adopted son of
Michelle Obama, according to a report by
The Eagle. Johnnie Fletcher Gooden, Jr. allegedly
walked into a Chase bank and asked for
access to Mrs. Obama’s bank account on
Saturday morning, claiming the first lady
had adopted him into the family on Friday. The teller allegedly informed the 29-year-
old Gooden that Michelle Obama did not
have an account with the bank. According to
the Houston Chronicle, Gooden stayed at
the bank even after being told such an
account did not exist. When police arrived, Gooden allegedly told
them Michelle Obama had personally
contacted him on Facebook, asking him to
join the family. Police ran a background check on Gooden
and quickly discovered he had an
outstanding warrant for resisting arrest and
assault of a public servant, according to
documents obtained by The Huffington
Post. Authorities also found a bag of marijuana in the pocket of Gooden’s cargo
shorts. The “commander-in-kief” is currently being
held on a $52,000 bail. Assaulting a public
servant is a third-degree felony punishable
by up to 10 years in prison.
