The White House was put on lockdownfor the second time this week after two individuals threw objects over the fences surrounding the building, a Secret Service official said.
Authorities closed Pennsylvania Avenue, shut down the North Lawn, and for a short period of time, would not allow workers inside the White House to exit the building.
They sounded the all clear about an hour and a half later.
Officials say both individuals were quickly taken into custody.
According to the Secret Service, one individual, identified asEvan J. Graham, allegedly chucked a cassette tape over the North Fence Line.
During his interview, Graham complained of a medical condition and was transported to George Washington University Hospital, a Secret Service spokesperson said. He will be transported to the metro police department for processing once hes medically cleared.
The other individual, identified as Von Greenbrier Lerriche, allegedly hurled some miscellaneous papers over the South Fence Line. Lerriche has already been transported to the metro police department.

White House Locked Down for the 2nd Time This Week
PERRY COUNTY A couple looking to get their driveway paved says they were swindled out of nearly $10,000. They're sharing their story in hopes of protecting of others.
A truck showed up outside the couple's rural Tamaroa home a month ago. The crew offered to pave the driveway for a good price. The job was done in a matter of hours, but it cost 10 times what they expected.
We're wiped out. Now I have nothing to fall back on, admitted Lu Ann Morris.
She lives on a fixed income of $639 a month with her husband Charles. On April 8, they got a knock on the door from All Rite Paving
I thought it was a city worker. Next thing I know they talked him into doing this without an estimate or anything they just said $2.00 a square foot. Did not give us any measurements, nothing, she explained
Turns out the job cost much more than they bargained for.
I don't know how I didn't pass out when they said $9,700, added Lu Ann.
Her husband is in the beginning stages of dementia and thought the job cost $970. She maxed out her credit card to pay the bill, and then started looking for help.
I was hyperventilating. I was having anxiety attacks. I didn't know where to turn. Everybody was turning us down; I didn't know what to do, she said.
Just a month later, weeds are already growing up through the gravel. Lu Ann says the company has yet to fix it. She's filed a police report, reached out to the state's attorney, and complained to consumer protection agencies.

GATE CITY A Scott County grand jury indicted a Kingsport man on felony contractor fraud charges for an alleged paving scam he attempted to carry out.
Frank Edward Small, 54, of Kingsport, was indicted Monday on a single count of violating Virginia business regulations for the third time in 36 months.
Small was arraigned Thursday in Scott County Circuit Court. His next appearance is scheduled for June 11.
The Scott County Sheriff's Office began investigating Small in early March 2014 after it received a report of a possible scam from a homeowner near Nickelsville.
Scott County Sheriff John Puckett said Small told the homeowner he wouldn't be able to give him a price until he was finished paving the driveway.
Once the work was complete, Small told the alleged victim the work would cost $8,000.
When the man could only produce $2,200, Small allegedly told him he would give him two or three more days to come up with the money.
At that point, Puckett said the homeowner contacted the sheriff's office.
