White House Fence Jumper — The Armed Takedown
Armed Secret Service agents swooped in on a homeless man on the White House lawn after he jumped a fence yesterday — and the whole scene was caught on tape right behind a CNN reporter. The 41-year-old man — James Dirk Crudup — was arrested almost immediately by several Secret Service badasses who moved in with automatic weapons drawn. Crudup was seen crawling around on his belly with a bag nearby as agents approached him. The scene played out several yards from CNN’s John King — who was seconds away from going live on TV when he noticed the agents with guns drawn. Crudup was arrested and will reportedly be charged with unlawful entry.
