White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said on Twitter that the person jumped over a bike rack on Pennsylvania Avenue, not a White House fence.
The Secret Service detained a man who drove up to a checkpoint near the White House grounds and his vehicle was "declared suspicious," a Secret Service spokesperson said.
Earlier Saturday, a person was apprehended after jumping over a low metal barrier just outside the White House fence, officials said.
The Secret Service said it would not immediately provide more details about what triggered the alarm during the Saturday night incident, citing an ongoing criminal investigation.
"Upon contact with the individual, U.
S.
Secret Service Uniform Division Officers detained the individual and declared his vehicle suspicious," the spokesperson said.
