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.

OMG...is right.
UNGH!
Bomb squad robot.
Ah
A little late had the Postal Worker wanted to fly the darn thing straight into the Oval Office, loaded with explosives.
Couldn't these guys just get on a White House tour?
“Im surprised that 0bama doesnt 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...
Seriously, the White House needs a moat.
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?
looks too low to be a valid replacement for the 6’ black rod iron i’ve seen in the past
It’s either a bomb sniffing lawn mower or a robot
hedge trimmer...
I shopped in the Berlin Wall, I probably should have added people for better height comparison.
