September 20, 2014 Car tries to enter White House barricaded entrance In the second security breach in two days, a man in a car tried to enter a barricaded entrance to the complex and refused orders to stop, Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary said. The man didn’t hit the barricades or cause any damage, but was arrested on a charge of unlawful entry.

September 19, 2014 Omar J. Gonzalez, 42 hopped the White Hose fence at 7:20 p.m., ran across the lawn and entered the North Portico doors. He was arrested and taken to George Washington University Hospital for a medical evaluation. Heavy: Gonzalez jumped the White house fence on the night of Friday, September 19, before sprinting untouched to the north White House door, facing Pennsylvania Avenue, making his way to the vestibule and an unlocked door. He stated he stated that “he was concerned the atmosphere was collapsing and needed to get the information to the President of the United States so he could get the word out to the people. He only carried a small pocket knife, but officials found 800 rounds of ammunition plus two hatchets and a machete, but no guns in Gonzalez’s car after his arrest. Gonzalez's ex-stepson says the White House intruder meant no harm. July 19 he was arrested after evading cops in Virginia in a car with a sawed-off shotgun, two high-powered rifles, four handguns, a tomahawk and a map of D.C. with the White House and a Masonic Temple circled, and on August 25 Gonzalez was stopped outside the White House fence with a hatchet. Gonzalez is a decorated Iraq veteran, with over a dozen awards, ribbons and badges, including Good Conduct medals, Iraq Campaign medal, Combat Action badge and an Expert Marksmanship badge, but he was discharged for PTSD and a foot condition.Washington DC

Preston, a United States Army private first class, stole a United States Army Bell UH-1 Iroquois ("Huey") helicopter from Fort Meade, Maryland, flew it to Washington, D.C. and hovered for six minutes over the White House before descending on the south lawn, about 100 yards from the West Wing. There was no initial attempt from the Executive Protective Service to shoot the helicopter down, and he later took off and was chased by two Maryland State Police helicopters. Preston forced one of the police helicopters down through his maneuvering of the helicopter, and then returned to the White House. This time, as he hovered above the south grounds, the Executive Protective Service fired at him with shotguns and submachine guns. Preston was injured slightly, and landed his helicopter.
