The man who jumped the White House fence Wednesday was charged with two misdemeanors: unlawfully entering the White House grounds and assaulting a police dog.

Dominic Adesanya, 23, is the seventh person to jump the White House Fence this year. He climbed the north fence of the White House Wednesday evening but was immediately taken down by two dogs.

Secret Service K-9 teams and uniformed division officers took him into custody.

Originally, Adesanya was supposed to be charged with two counts of felony assault on a police officer for attacking the Secret Service dogs, four counts of resisting arrest and unlawful entry, and one count of making threats.

The dogs, named Hurricane and Jordan, were treated for minor bruising and cleared for duty.

After being released from custody, Adesanya was sent to the U.S. Marshals Service for previous outstanding warrants. In July, he was arrested after jumping a security barrier around the perimeter of the executive mansion.

This time around in court, he was seen yelling at the judge and had to be dragged out of the room. According to Adesanya's lawyer, he was in need of a psychiatric evaluation.

Victor Adesanya, the suspect's father, told The Associated Press that his son was diagnosed with paranoia and "complained about cameras everywhere." He said at one point, his son took down a mirror in the bathroom and cut into the wall, trying to find a camera. He also looked for them in the family's attic. He said his son was not trying to hurt the president.

"He's not violent. He's not a criminal. He's not a murderer. He's just someone that's just mentally disturbed," he said.

The last man who jumped the fence, Omar Gonzalez, managed to make it into the White House on Sept. 19 before he was taken down by agents.
