Unites States Secret Service apprehended a man Tuesday night after he jumped over the fence on the White House north lawn. He was identified as James Dirk Crudup, a 41-year-old homeless man. Crudup was taken to the 1st District precinct in Washington D.C. and charged with unlawful entry and attempted contempt for violating a stay away order at the White House.
The security breach occurred just before 8 PM eastern. "He was immediately taken into custody by uniform division officers and he had a back pack that is being examined by EOD personnel," Secret Service Spokesperson Edwin Donovan told Fox News.
It is not believed the president's safety was ever in jeopardy.
