The Secret Service has detained a man who has jumped the White House fence on Wednesday evening, according to multiple reports.

The man’s name wasn’t disclosed but the Secret Service said a dog was involved in apprehending the jumper, according to the New York Times.

CBS News reported that the White House was in lockdown due to the incident.

The Secret Service has come under scrutiny this year after it was revealed that a previous White House fence jumper, Omar Gonzalez, made it far further inside the building than previously thought. Its director, Julia Person, resigned earlier this month.
