WASHINGTON - The White House grounds were secured on Wednesday morning after a security incident, a Secret Service official said.
At approximately 10:30 am, a male individual threw personal belongings over the North Fence Line of the White House Complex. The individual was immediately taken into custody by Secret Service Uniformed Division Officers. Protective sweeps of the North grounds are ongoing.
