Man claiming to be Michelle Obama's adopted son arrested at bank


Johnnie Gooden

A College Station man who told police he was adopted by First Lady Michelle Obama after she contacted him on Facebook was taken into custody following a bizarre incident at a Bryan bank.

Authorities responded to Chase Bank on Boonville Road after an employee alerted police to a suspicious customer Saturday morning. The employee told an officer the man asked to access Obama's account and wouldn't leave after being told there wasn't such an account, according to the arrest report.

The 29-year-old man told officers that Obama let him know about the adoption Friday, so Saturday he was trying to access her bank account, the report states. He stopped talking to police after an officer said he was lying, the documents state.

Authorities ran a background check on Johnnie Gooden and found he was wanted in Brazos County on charges of resisting arrest and assault of a public servant. After police arrested Gooden, they found a bag filled with marijuana in a pocket of his cargo shorts, according to the report.

One of my favorite patients in a state mental institution many decades ago was the elder sister of Queen Elizabeth II, Mary. She kept the delusion so consistently, even aping a Liza Doolittle accent on top of her native backwoods NC accent, that I never confronted her head on. I was impressed and she was often hilarious.

Shortly before I left that job, I had a lucid conversation with her. She said she knew she was Minnie from West Bumhole, the drugs had chased the delusion away, but she just didn't want to go home, the hospital was nicer.

Considering it was a human warehouse, I had to wonder just how awful her home had been.
