Minneapolis.
Mike Lindell, better known as “The My Pillow Guy,” was arrested early Thursday morning by Minneapolis police, and charged with breaking and entering and criminal trespassing, according to police spokesman Cliff Hanger. The arrest is based on surveillance video showing Lindell in the bathroom of a Minnesota couple, trying to sell them a pillow. The couple, Rob and Lisa Carr, told police that they recognized Lindell from his omnipresent tv commercials for the “My Pillow” brand of pillows, but were quite surprised to find him in their bathroom, and don’t know how he got into their house.
But Lindell’s attorney, Howard Cheatham, said the charges arise from a misunderstanding. “Mike didn’t break and enter the home. He was there to film a t.v. commercial for ‘My Pillow.” He may have inadvertently entered the wrong house, but the video the police have isn’t surveillance video, as they characterized it. That’s the actual t.v. commercial. I mean that should be obvious to anyone with a brain who views the video. The couple is happy he’s there and they even buy a pillow.”
But a reporter asked Mr. Cheatham, “How is it possible that the couple would claim he broke into their home if this was just a tv commercial? It doesn’t make sense. If they were actors who’d been paid to be in a commercial, there would be a contract. This whole incident sounds weird. Don’t you have a better defense?”
Cheatham responded, “Well we do have a back up plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. The truth is that Mike’s been under tremendous stress due to the explosive growth of the ‘My Pillow” business and his sudden fame resulting from the success of his tv ads promoting ‘My Pillow.’ To tell you the truth, he even persuaded me to buy a pillow, and I’ve got to tell you, it’s a terrific product, I sleep a lot better now, and my neck feels better in the morning. So I understand why Mike is so excited about ‘My Pillow,’ I mean his pillow, y’know. But I’ll admit, he has gotten a bit carried away with it, and has started approaching people on the street, and in traffic, y’know, and trying to sell them pillows. All he ever talks about is his stupid pillow. Only recently has he started secretly entering peoples’ homes to sell them pillows, which, sure is maybe going a little bit too far. And we have a diagnosis from his psychiatrist, of obsessive compulsive disorder, coupled with paranoid delusions. So, yeah, we have that insanity defense there as a back up.”
