White House Security Incidents Prompt Two Arrests

Two people were arrested after separate security incidents near Lafayette Park, across from the White House, shortly before 10 a.m. Monday. One driver crashed a vehicle onto the sidewalk near 16th and H streets NW and was described by the Secret Service as combative before being taken into custody; a second person jumped a nearby barricade and was also arrested. The White House was briefly locked down while President Trump was inside, and roads around the park were closed as authorities responded. D.C. police explosives-disposal personnel searched the vehicle as a precaution. The Secret Service is investigating both incidents, and authorities have not said whether they were connected or whether the White House was targeted.
