CRANSTON, R.I. (WPRI) - The United States Secret Service have a man in custody after he interfered with First Lady Michelle Obama's motorcade Friday night.

The Target 12 Investigative Team has learned that while the First Lady was en route to T.F. Green Airport Friday night, a man from New Hampshire attempted to interfere with her motorcade while driving along Route 37 in Cranston.

Cranston Police noticed the pick up truck the man was driving while the motorcade rode through Cranston and ordered to vacate the area, but later saw the same truck pulled over along Rte. 37.

Police ordered the man out of the truck while they searched his vehicle and found a duffle bag full of loaded magazine clips, but no gun. Police have also said there's no indication the man could have tossed a weapon from the vehicle.

The man is now being examined and is in the custody of the Secret Service.

First Lady Michelle Obama was not harmed during the incident and officials said she may not even have been aware anything was wrong.

Remind me, how many people were arrested for throwing Eggs at G. W. Bush's Limo during the 2001 Inauguration Parade?

Oh that's right, you can threaten to kill a Republican President and make a Movie about killing a sitting Republican President, but you can't call the 44th President of the United States by his middle name.

Silly me...

"Magazine clips"?

Aren't those the plastic cover thingies which they use on magazines in the libraries to protect the magazines and discourage patrons from stealing them?

They load them with magazines, then rotate the old issues to the stacks as the new magazines arrive.

She was heading off on another taxpayer-paid vacation, and he just wanted to congratulate her.

When I hear about motorcades in relation to these grifters, I immediately picture one of those African tyrants (Idi Amin?), racing down the streets while the people suffer and get murdered (in our case, mostly by illegal aliens the government enabled and armed).

Was Michelle on her way to Target?

On her way to her "just plain folks" photo op, to offset the $40,000 bling she was wearing the night before. Classless and clueless.
