Armed man shot outside White House faces new charge
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Pennsylvania man shot by Secret Service at a White House gate earlier this year after refusing to drop a gun is facing a new federal charge.
News outlets report that 31-year-old Jesse Olivieri of Ashland, Pennsylvania, was charged Tuesday with resisting or impeding certain officers or employees with a dangerous weapon. He's charged in an information, a document that can only be filed with a defendant's consent and usually signals a guilty plea.
The charge supersedes a police complaint and carries a maximum of 20 years in prison. Olivieri was shot after approaching the gate May 20. Court documents indicate he told police, "I came here to shoot people."
