Minnesota police called for welfare check on man that turns out to be cutout of MyPillow CEO
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Minnesota police revealed they received a troubling call asking them to check on the welfare of a man standing outside hugging a pillow -- only to find it was a cutout of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
The Jordan Police Department said officers were called to check on the welfare of an adult male who was wearing no coat outside in the cold. Once officers arrived on the scene, they discovered a cardboard cutout that looked pretty realistic.

Word of the humorous call even reached the CEO and founder of MyPillow himself who tweeted out an article about it with a laughing emoji.

The call comes as Minnesota experiences extremely cold temperatures and low wind chills due to the arctic air mass.
Lindell himself spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Thursday, telling the crowd in Oxon Hill, Maryland, that a decade ago he was enmeshed in an addiction to crack cocaine and alcohol.
