Washington (CNN) - A person carrying a suspicious package scaled a White House fence Sunday night, but was quickly apprehended.

The person climbed the fence on the south side of the White House complex about 10:25 p.m., said Brian Leary with the United States Secret Service.

The individual is in custody and charges are pending, Leary said. The person's name or gender wasn't released.

The package was being examined and later deemed to be harmless, a Secret Service source told CNN.

Last week, a U.S. official told CNN that temporary steel spikes may be added to the tips of the White House perimeter fence to help deter jumpers.

If done, this will be a temporary measure to protect the grounds until a new permanent one is constructed.

“I’m surprised that 0bama doesn’t already have a bunch of heads on pikes around the perimeter...”

He’s waiting until he can get away with crucified Christians out there. Won’t be long...

steel spikes? so much for the “people’s house”

looks like they’re anticipating a world-war-z style protest

is that a current pic or a photoshop?

I shopped in the Berlin Wall, I probably should have added people for better height comparison.
