An unarmed man who jumped the White House fence on Wednesday night, barely making it onto the lawn before being subdued, suffers from mental problems and has been arrested there before, his father said on Thursday.
Dominic Adesanya, 23, of Bel Air, Maryland, was taken into custody after he fought two police dogs, the Secret Service said.
Adesanya has been charged with two counts of felony assault on a police officer for attacking the K-9 dogs, four counts of resisting and unlawful entry and one count of making threats, the Secret Service said.
Adesanya was arrested near the White House about two months ago and charged with a misdemeanor, according to his father.
The incident marked the second time someone jumped the White House fence in the last month.
In September, a man identified as Omar Gonzalez scaled the fence armed with a small knife and made it into the White House. The indictment of Gonzalez has been delayed until he undergoes a full mental competency evaluation.
