Yet another person has been arrested for trying to climb over the White House fence.

U.S. Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary says that a person was arrested last night, at approximately 10:25 a.m., after the individual was caught climbing the fence on the south side of the White House complex. According to Leary, the person, whose identity is being withheld, was carrying suspicious package.

After the person was arrested, the Secret Service determined the package to be harmless. The person is in custody as charges are pending and Leary says a motive is not yet known.

This is the latest in a series of people who have tried to, or succeeded, in scaling the fence of the White House. The Secret Service is currently considering new safety measures to keep this from happening again.
