WASHINGTON (WJLA/AP/CNN) — A man jumped over the White House fence on Wednesday night, but this time, the fence jumper barely made it onto the South Lawn before being taken down by dogs and quickly detained by Secret Service agents.
"Dogs got him," a Secret Service spokesman said.
This latest incident comes about a month after previous White House fence jumper Omar Gonzalez sprinted across the South Lawn, past armed uniformed agents and entered the mansion before being detained.
The fallout from that September incident and other Secret Service breaches in security for the president led Julia Pierson to step down as director of the agency.
Journalists at the scene Wednesday night observed a man in white shorts just inside the White House fence on Pennsylvania Avenue.
The man was seen lifting his shirt as if to show agents that he had no weapons. The man was then seen kicking and punching two Secret Service dogs that were released on him.
