A Maryland man is in custody after jumping the White House fence
Wednesday, just weeks after a similar incident prompted the director of
the Secret Service to resign.
Officials said around 7:15 p.m., 23-year-old Dominic Adesanya climbed the fence on the North Lawn and got about 20 yards past it when he was taken down by Secret Service officers and K-9 dogs.

The officers were heard yelling, “Stop moving!” in a grainy surveillance video. Adesanya is then heard screaming, “I’m not!”
Adesanya, of Bel Air, Maryland, is in custody and has been hospitalized for unknown injuries.
Secret Service officials say two dogs were taken to a veterinarian for injuries sustained during the incident after being kicked.
The White House was locked down until just before 9 p.m. Officials say Adesanya was not armed.
