A Tennessee woman who was convicted last year of trying to climb a White House barrier was arrested again Friday after authorities said she drove a vehicle into a barricade near the executive mansion and was found with a gun in her hand.
D.C. police identified her as Jessica R. Ford, 35, of La Vergne, Tenn., about 20 miles southeast of Nashville. Police said Friday night that she was charged with gun possession and other offences.
The U.S. Secret Service said a woman driving a white van or SUV “intentionally drove” into the barrier at 17th and E streets NW about 3 p.m.

Full title didn't fit:
Woman arrested holding “gun” after driving into W H barrier was convicted last year of trying to climb fence
She crashed into the White House barricade WITH a gun and they didn’t shoot her?!
I agree — they should have.
For every intentional hostile act against the President, the media should be held 100% to blame for fanning the flames of hate.
Is this a transgender “woman” “gun”?
Can’t read the full article. What did they mean by “gun” instead of gun?
Democrat hell bent on killing Trump?
“A tourist visiting from New York, Christopher Bello, said it appeared as if the driver “was trying to break through the barrier” and that he thought “she started to hit the gas, and her tires were spinning and smoking.”
The Secret Service said Ford was quickly arrested and no shots were fired. The vehicle’s back window and one side window were shattered; it could not be determined how or when. “
Another Democrat nut with a gun?
Let’s see what her background is. Obviously it isn’t a Driving Instructor.
BB gun
Maybe WaPo cannot blame this on Billy Graham, but likely many wish she had succeeded.
BY all means arrest her for the gun...but everything else she did is protected under her First Amendment rights.
You can put an eye out with that!
doesn’t LOOK insane...
Oh wait, it’s Lindsey Vonn after a red-eye from SK!
17 May 2017: TMZ: White House: Latest Fence Jumper Has Experience
According to police documents, the woman who was busted Tuesday is 34-year-old Jessica Rhea Ford of La Vergne, TN. Cops also caught her near the south fence on April 16 after recognizing her as a person of interest to the Secret Service.
Cops say she’s known to have tried getting on White House grounds “on numerous occasions” ... and had previously been ordered to stay away.
Add Ford to the growing list of fence jumpers this year, and some of the others are also repeat offenders.

21 March 2017: TMZ: White House fence jumper: Lingered, Tied Shoes, Peered in Windows
... Unnoticed by Secret Service
Chaffetz says the surveillance video is shocking ... the intruder was not darting around. Rather, he was “lingering,” “hanging out” on the grounds. At one point he took the time to bend down and tie his shoes.
The intruder at times peered through windows of the building, where Trump was inside. As we previously reported, he also jiggled a doorknob.
Chaffetz says some of the alarms failed but some went off, yet the intruder was not detected.
Secret Service agents did check the grounds, but not with any urgency. Alarms frequently go off for various reasons, and this time it was met with an inadequate response.
And Chaffetz says the video shows agents were simply “lackadaisical.” As he put it, “Everything went wrong.”
The congressman says he was promised there would be “big changes,” adding, “There better be.”

the hysteria of the anti-Trump FakeNewsMSM does not help.
Why does everyone here make mental excuses for women but with men automatically assume its not, and dont care if it is?
Frigging bias is sickening.
FBI will probably bail her out again.
Well, the other time they let go of that woman who claimed her brakes failed in her attempt to ram Trump motorcade. Or maybe she was smoking pot in the woods and got her paranoia spooked by all the cops coming in...
Seriously, there are certain privileged species out there
Because they do not want people to defend rights but impose privilege to use tax money
It is the whole Union and juges narrative
