| A man arrested after jumping the White House fence on Wednesday night has been charged with three felony counts and four misdemeanors, the US Secret Service said on Thursday.
Dominic Adesanya of Bel Air, Maryland, was unarmed when he was arrested on the White House grounds after facing Secret Service dogs that stopped and attacked him, the Secret Service said.
The incident came about one month after an intruder with a knife scaled the White House fence and entered the executive mansion, raising questions about security at the heavily guarded complex and spurring the resignation of Julia Pierson as Secret Service director.

Officials charged Adesanya, 23, with two felony counts of assault on a K-9 police officer, one felony count of making threats and four misdemeanor counts of resisting and unlawful entry, Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary said. K-9 refers to the team using specially trained dogs.
The Washington Post said Adesanya was bitten by a dog. He was taken to a hospital for evaluation and then turned over to the U.S. Marshals Service because of outstanding warrants, Leary said. His court date has not yet been set.
Hurricane and Jordan, the two dogs that stopped the intruder, have been cleared to return to duty after being treated for minor bruising, Leary said.
Video showed the intruder punching one of the dogs and Secret Service agents surrounding him on the north lawn of the White House.
