No, not that Putin.
Vladimir Putin was arrested Tuesday.
It wasn't the Russian president. But a man with the same name was taken into custody at a Florida supermarket, WPEC-TV reported.
Police in West Palm Beach, Florida, said Putin was yelling at employees inside a Publix grocery store. He was then asked to leave but refused.
Putin was then arrested for trespassing. He was also charged with resisting/obstructing an officer without violence.
Putin had reportedly missed his ride home from the supermarket just before the bizarre incident.
