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.

George Obama was arrested in Kenya on a charge for possession of marijuana, according to police.

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.

CNN Correspondent David McKenzie talked with George Obama at the jail where he is being held. Speaking from behind bars, Obama denied the allegations.

Roger Clinton had a drug problem.

Billy Carter was a drunk.

It's an American tradition! If you are president it isn't normal if your brother doesn't embarrass you :)

George is just keeping up established tradition.

Tough break, though. I hope he's able to establish his innocence.

End the drug war! It's destroyed many more lives than the drugs themselves ever do!

I wouldn't be surprised if he is totally innocent. Look at that face.

Where the giraffes are, and the zebras!

Nothing worse than having THAT kind of albatross around your neck ... a distant relative you've never had a relationship with.
Reminds me of when my dad died, and all my "cousins" who I'd never met, showed up at the funeral.
Unfortunate situation for President Obama.

My mind registered "George Clinton" and though "and this is news?".
