A man identified in media reports as the Kenyan half brother of the US president's late father was arrested for drunk driving in Massachusetts, according to media reports Monday.
Obama Onyango, 67, was arrested in Framingham after nearly striking a cop car last week, according to the Boston Herald newspaper, which quoted officials, dpa reported.
Framingham police could not be reached by dpa for comment.
The Herald, quoting officials, reported that Onyango was held without bail because he is wanted on a federal immigration warrant.
