MN Welfare Check On ‘Motionless Man Hugging Pillow’ Turns Out Cardboard Cutout ‘My Pillow’ Guy Mike Lindell

JORDAN, MN. (THECOUNT) — Police in Minnesota were called to check on the welfare of a man standing motionless and hugging a pillow outside in the cold. Once they arrived, however, the “man” turned out to be a cardboard cutout of My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell.

The Jordan Police Department took it all in stride, even posting on Facebook about the false alarm with the title “Call Of The Day – a little humor for everyone.”

“Officers were called to check on the welfare of an adult male in one of our local neighborhoods standing motionless outside and near a home wearing no coat in the cold and hugging a pillow,” they wrote. “Upon arriving on-scene, Officers discovered the adult male in need of possible assistance was actually a cardboard cutout of MyPillow CEO and inventor Mike Lindell. Those cardboard cutouts sure can look real from a distance and the caller certainly was not wanting to get too close thinking who is this deranged person standing outside in the cold hugging a pillow; always better to call the police,” source.

Geo quick facts: Jordan is a city in Scott County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 5,470 at the 2010 census – Wikipedia.
