Where was President Obama when his high school buddy got arrested?
Daily Mail reports that one of President Obama's close friends has been arrested in an prostitution sting operation.
Robert 'Bobby' Titcomb, 49 - a long time friend of the President - was arrested after he allegedly approached an undercover police officer posing as a prostitute in the downtown area of Honolulu.
Titcomb was one of four arrested during the sting, according to the Honolulu police department.
The news could not have come at a worse time for Mr Obama, who has just launched his 'billion dollar' 2012 re-election campaign.
Police have been conducting undercover operations in the downtown Honolulu area after reports from general public that the area was a hotbed for prostitution.
Titcomb, 49, of Waialua, was arrested on suspicion of solicitation Monday night.
He allegedly offered money for sex near the intersection of South Street and Pohukaina Street at about 9:40 pm.
According to Hawaii News Now, Mr Obama and Titcomb have been close friends since high school and the pair often get together to golf and dine when the President visits the state.
Titcomb has spoken to the press about the President on several occasions.
In 2004, just before Mr Obama successfully ran for to become senator for Illinois, Titcomb spoke to the Honolulu Star Bulletin.
He said: 'I could see he [Obama] was bound for bigger things.
'He looked at the world more globally than the rest of us. There was something driven about him.
