The man accused of jumping a White House fence and entering the building with a knife was indicted on additional charges.

In late September, 42-year-old Omar Gonzalez was charged with one federal offense — unlawfully entering a restricted building or grounds while carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon — and two District offenses — carrying a dangerous weapon outside a home or place of business, and unlawful possession of ammunition. Today’s superseding indictment added two federal counts of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees, and one District count of unlawful possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.

Gonzalez is accused of jumping a White House fence then evading Secret Service officers until he reached the East Room. He “allegedly assaulted, resisted, or impeded two U.S. Secret Service officers,” according to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, which is the basis for the new charges. A search of his vehicle, which the government says he gave oral consent to do, turned up “hundreds of rounds of ammunition, both in boxes and in magazines, two hatchets, and a machete.” The new District charge is based on “the recovery of gun magazines that held more than 10 rounds.”

Currently in custody, Gonzalez is scheduled to appear in D.C. Superior Court on October 21.

Gonzalez’s alleged actions have led to troubling revelations about the Secret Service and the resignation of that agency’s director. It has also prompted a conversation about additional barriers around the White House, including new fences described as “temporary.”
