Another White House fence jumper made it onto the North Lawn on Wednesday before he was nabbed by Secret Service, according to NBC News.
Dominic Adesanya, from Bel Air, Md., made it 20 yards past the fence before he was tackled and arrested, according to NBC News. "Dogs got him," Secret Service spokesperson Edwin Donovan said, according to Reuters.
"The individual was immediately taken into custody on the North lawn of the White House by Secret Service Uniformed Division K-9 teams and Uniformed Division Officers," Donovan said, according to Reuters.
Adesanya was not armed, but the White House was locked down for about 90 minutes, according to Reuters. President Obama was inside, but not harmed, according to NBC News. The interloper was taken to a hospital to be evaluated for injuries and charges are pending.
Two Secret Service dogs were injured and taken to a veterinarian for treatment, according to NBC News. Authorities do plan on filing charges for assaulting an officer for the attack on one dog, whose name is Hurricane, according to The Washington Post. A video shows Adesanya punching and kicking Hurricane.
This breach of security happened about a month after Director Julia Pierson resigned from the Secret Service due to two security breaches in one week. On Sept. 16, a convicted felon was in an elevator with the president. The man was not on the approved list and the Secret Service did not even know he was armed until the man voluntarily turned over his gun, according to The Washington Post. On Sept. 19, Omar J. Gonzalez scaled the White House fence and made it inside the East Room with a knife.
