A man was arrested late Tuesday night after driving his vehicle into a security barrier near the White House, according to the U.S. Secret Service.
The agency reported that the incident occurred at approximately 10:37 p.m. when the driver struck a security gate at one of the White House entrances.
Officers from the Secret Service’s Uniformed Division immediately took the man into custody at the scene.

In an official statement, the Secret Service confirmed that investigators conducted a search of the vehicle following the crash and determined there were no threats present.
The area was declared safe after the inspection was completed.
Authorities have not released the suspect’s identity or any potential motive behind the incident.
No injuries were reported, and there was no indication that the driver breached any interior White House security perimeter.
“The individual was placed under arrest by members of the Secret Service Uniformed Division,” the agency stated.
“Following a search of the vehicle, it was deemed safe.”
The Secret Service said an investigation is ongoing to determine the circumstances leading to the crash and whether it was intentional.
The agency has not indicated whether federal or local charges will be filed.
The crash took place during a period of heightened security in the area surrounding the White House complex, where multiple checkpoints and barriers are regularly maintained by the Secret Service.
Vehicle access to the immediate perimeter of the White House is tightly restricted, and physical barriers are designed to prevent unauthorized entry or damage to the premises.
Washington, D.C. police were not immediately involved in the initial response but have been coordinating with Secret Service investigators as the inquiry continues.
Witness accounts from nearby streets indicated that emergency lights and additional security personnel were visible in the area shortly after the collision.
No further updates have been provided on the suspect’s condition or any possible charges.
The Secret Service said additional details will be released once the investigation has advanced.
The White House grounds remain secure, and normal operations resumed following the brief disruption Tuesday night.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
Why wasn’t the Hakeem Schumer subhuman shot? He’s a threat to the Party of Death’s Demoncrazy.
At least the didn’t shoot him this time..............
“a man” “individual” “the driver”
Waiting for a name and/or description.
It’s contained in the ambiguity
At least they didn’t say ‘youth’..............
Another article where the check written by the headline is not cashed by the body of the article. Nothing in the article supports the contention that there was “chaos” at the White House
A couple of decorative bollards are visible, but their sizing and spacing appear to be insubstantial and ineffective—suggesting this “terrorist” wasn’t trying very hard.....................
Chuck Schumer out for a drive.
“Nothing in the article supports the contention that there was “chaos” at the White House”
