NAIROBI, Kenya (CNN) -- George Obama, the half-brother of U.S. President Barack Obama, has been arrested by Kenyan police on a charge of possession of marijuana, police said Saturday.
Inspector Augustine Mutembei, the officer in charge, said Obama was arrested on charges of possession of cannabis, known in Kenya as Bhang, and resisting arrest.
He is scheduled to appear in court Monday, Mutembei said. He is being held at Huruma police post in the capital of Nairobi. Speaking from behind bars, Obama denied the allegations. "They took me from my home," he said, "I don't know why they are charging me."
George Obama and the president barely know each other, though they have met. George Obama was one of the president's few close relatives who did not go to the inauguration in Washington last week.
In his memoir, "Dreams from My Father," Barack Obama describes meeting George as a "painful affair." Barack Obama's trip to Kenya meant meeting family he had never known. McKenzie tracked down George Obama in August and found him at a small house in Huruma, a Nairobi slum, where he lives with his mother's extended family. His birth certificate shows that he is Barack Obama's half-brother. The two men share a Kenyan father.
In the memoir, Barack Obama struggles to reconcile with his father after he left him and his mother when he was just a child. Barack Obama Sr. died in a car accident when George was just 6 months old. Like his half-brother, George hardly knew his father. George was his father's last child and had not been aware of his famous half-brother growing up.
Unlike his grandmother in Kogela, in western Kenya, George Obama had received little attention from the media until reports about him surfaced in August.

“He’s not the George I knew.”
Why do you think George didn’t make it to his bro’s inauguration?
Wow, Obama’s dealer was finally arrested.....
It actually says "President Barack Obama's half-brother." No, really.
He was like, too stoned to fly, baby...;)
Expect these kind of stories monthly.
He has more half-fillintheblank relatives then a new lotto winner.
LOL!! CNN can find George Obama's birth certificate but not Barak's!
You can't make this stuff up!!
Maybe that;s the reason Barak is hiding his Birth Cerificate: It says: "Barak is hereby the Half-Brother of George Obama" right there under the hospital of birth!
You can't make this stuff up!!
Reminds me of when they flew to Brazil to find an old girlfriend of McCain's, 77 years old, trying to dig up dirt on him. They found her. They can find remains of the PT-109 but not that 69 Olds.
I think it is a real shame. I saw George interviewed on TV and I felt so sorry for him. If I knew where to send him $100 I would have. Apparently, the Messiah and Michelle just aren’t very generous when it comes to other members of the tribe. George said they were like strangers to him. I blame Sean Hannity for not getting the fund raising drive done for real. We could have saved this poor guy from this desperate life... no s>
Prob photoshopped
Sioux, you're making me cry.
Since Hannity dropped the ball, it's up to us to help this poor pot-head out.
Let's organize a bake sale. I've got a great recipe for weed brownies I'll share with you (rolling eyes).
I wonder if 0 just doesn't like the name George. I wonder if he plans to make some personal changes & help his family. ( at our expense maybe George has a chance) I don't see how meeting your brother can be a painful affair. If it was going to cause him pain why on earth did he go meet him?
I wonder if 0 just doesn't like the name George.<<
Yeah, maybe if his name was Rahm instead of George, the meeting would have been less painful.
With the number of spawn Barry's daddy produced, I expect these stories weekly.
lmao
...Barack Obama describes meeting George...
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Interesting how the son who was born in Kenya is/was named George and the son born in Hawaii(??) is/was named Barack.
I guess OB’s daddy was a “travelin’ man” and dropped his ‘demon seed’ world wide...will have people coming out of the wood work claiming to be kin of the ‘anointed one’.
I guess the mommy's picked the names. Everybody knows the name George is commonly chosen by black Kenyans and that Barack is a favorite pick for white Americans.
As for daddy dropping his seed --I think it's more gushing his seed from a fire hose. STAND BACK LADIES OR YOU'RE GONNA GET KNOCKED UP!
