WASHINGTON — The Secret Service says a man has been arrested for trying to unlawfully enter the White House, less than 24 hours after a fence-jumper made it all the way into the building.
Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan says a man showed up at one of the White House gates on foot, then showed up in his a car at another gate and pulled into the vehicle screening area. He refused to leave and was arrested for unlawful entry.
The arrest comes the day after a 42-year-old man scaled the fence and managed to get through the North Portico doors before agents were able to apprehend him. The Secret Service is reviewing that incident.
