A 23-year-old Maryland man who climbed over the White House fence was ordered held without bond in an appearance Thursday before a federal magistrate judge.

Wearing blue prison garb, Dominic Adesanya resisted being taken away and started talking as two deputy marshals removed him from the courtroom.

Adesanya had previously been arrested at the White House in late July and ordered to undergo mental health screening and to return to court Sept. 9, court records show.
