The Secret Service arrested a "not fully clothed" man who climbed over the White House fence today.
Justin Manuel Arrieta, 22, of Cocoa Beach, Fla., hopped the fence on the north side of the White House at about 10:30 a.m. and was quickly apprehended by the Secret Service Uniformed Division, said spokeswoman Kim Bruce.
Arrieta was not completely dressed, Bruce said, but she didn't have further details of the "extent of what he was wearing."
He was charged with unlawful entry and taken to D.C. police's Third District for processing.
President Bush was at the presidential retreat at Camp David during the incident.
