Secret Service agents on Monday afternoon apprehended a man who climbed over the Treasury Department fence near the White House.
The individual, described as wearing a blazer and sunglasses, was taken into custody after agents ran across the compound to intercept him.
He was later transported to the Metropolitan Police Department’s Second District, where he was processed on a charge of unlawful entry, authorities said.
“On Monday, September 29 at approximately 4:55 p.m., an individual scaled the fence on the southeast side of the U.S. Treasury Building and was arrested by U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division officers for unlawful entry,” the agency said in a statement to RealClearPolitic’s Susan Crabtree.
“He was subsequently transported to Metropolitan Police Department’s 2nd District for processing. There was no impact to our protective operations,” the statement continued.
