The U.S. Secret Service has temporarily locked down the White House's North Lawn after three men were arrested within a span of 24 hours for attempting to break into the White House grounds late Sunday evening and early Monday morning.
Secret Service spokesperson Brian Leary says 27-year-old Michael J. Fogg of Newport News, Virginia was arrested and taken into custody by the 2nd District bureau of Washington D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department after entering a pedestrian gate at East Executive Avenue at around 6:45 a.m. on Monday. Leary says the man went behind a construction worker and slipped in just in time before the gate closed. After being stopped by a uniformed Secret Service agent, the man became confrontational and was brought to the police department and is now facing unlawful entry charges.
