Vacclav/iStockphoto/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — White House fence jumper Omar Gonzalez was charged with three additional offenses by a federal grand jury Thursday.
The grand jury charged Gonzalez with two counts of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees and unlawful possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device. The latter charge involves gun magazines recovered from Gonzalez’s car that included more than 10 rounds each.
Gonzalez is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 21, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Gonzalez jumped a fence on the north side of the White House on the evening of Sept. 19. He eventually ran through the north doors of the White House and into the building before being apprehended by Secret Service agents. He was initially charged on Sept. 30 with unlawfully entering a restricted building or grounds while carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon, carrying a dangerous weapon outside a home or place of business and unlawful possession of ammunition.
