Man Says He Is Barack Obama, But Trapped Inside His Own Body

A man carrying a stick and yelling as he walked along Main Street caught the attention of passersby and eventually Cartersville police.

Eric Tyrone McMickens, 35, of West Main Street in Cartersville, told police about 7:55 p.m. he was in a bad mood and people were trying to "jump" him. He had a beer in his front pocket and registered a .238 on an Alcosensor, according to the incident report, attached.

Police arrested McMickens after he failed to produce a sober driver who could take him home.

"When I placed Mr. McMickens under arrest he then stated to me if I could call his mother. I asked Mr. McMickens what her number was and Mr. McMickens advised his mother was Hillary Clinton," an officer wrote in the report. "I then began to pat Mr. McMickens down for any weapons or contraband and he advised me he had a badge number and worked for the FBI and that I should not be placing him under arrest.

"Once Mr. McMickens was secure in the back of my patrol vehicle, he began to yell at me. Mr. McMickens stated, 'I am Barack Obama, trapped in Eric McMickens body, cant you see it in my eyes?' When I ignored Mr. McMickens he became more agitated and began to scream at me telling me, I would pay for this and that he was going to kill me multiple times."

McMickens was charged with disorderly conduct.
