Man impersonating Bill Clinton arrested

52-year-old unemployed car salesman, Henry Ferguson has been arrested by local police officials in Arkansas after he failed to pay his restaurant bill, claiming he was Bill Clinton, the former president of America and that it was “un-American” to make a former President of the United States pay for a meal.

Ferguson who was actively pursued by local investigators has now been slammed with a twenty-two counts charge of criminal impersonation of the ex-president of America in the last 6 months.

“It appears the suspect used his incredible resemblance with Bill Clinton in relations with women and in dealings with hotels, a credit card company and other businesses,” admits officer John Mayden, present during the arrest.

“He even bragged that he subdued and charmed thousands of women in the past six months since he was thrown out of his house after an ugly divorce and consequently lost his job. He said he did it because he was penniless and in total desperation,” the officer told reporters.

Brandon Phelps, Ferguson’s former neighbour and friend says he was worried that his old buddy was losing his mind.

“After his divorce, things got ugly. His personality changed in an instant. Suddenly he was rude with his former friends and wouldn’t talk to us anymore. He took his impersonation of Bill Clinton really seriously and didn’t want us to be seen around him anymore,” he recalls.

“He was partying like an animal at night, doing cocaine and fooling around with as many girls as he could get. People would pay him everything he wanted, he never spent a penny anywhere he went,” he adds.
