An Arkansas man is facing charges after allegedly jumping the fence surrounding the White House. A Secret Service spokesman said Shawn Cox has been charged with unlawful entry. Cox is expected to make a court appearance Monday. President George W. Bush was home when Cox allegedly climbed the fence today on the northeast side of the property. Cox did not have a weapon. Cox was taken into custody by Secret Service officers immediately after scaling the fence on the northeast side. Uniformed Secret Service officers stood by with guns drawn while an agent escorted Cox to a guard station. Cox was wearing a sweatshirt, he was unshaven and his pants were wet and dirty from where he was brought to the ground. He did not answer a journalist's question about why he jumped the fence. It is not yet known exactly where in Arkansas Cox is from and why he wanted to enter the White House grounds.
