WASHINGTON – When President Barack Obama takes to the sky in his air force helicopter the rest of the flying world has to comply with keeping an eight mile distance from the presidential craft Marine One.
One private Cessna owner didn’t obey by these rules and was ordered to ground his small plane immediately.
Once on the ground, the plane was stormed by a troop of armed security who discovered 18 kilos (40 pounds) of fresh ‘weed’ tucked inside the small craft’s cabin.
The incident took place Thursday morning when the President, who is visiting California as part of his election campaign, flew from Corona Del Mar (San Diego) to Los Angeles.

The pilot of the Cessna did not respond when ground control contacted him. He was hence intercepted by two F-16 fighter jets that forced the pilot to land his small plane in Long Beach.
A spokesperson for the secret service said that at no time was President Obama in any danger and the man had no intention to harm the president.
The pilot was arrested however for transporting ‘illegal’ cargo.
