WASHINGTON — The Secret Service said a woman who got tangled up by her shoelaces after trying to jump the White House fence last week has been arrested again after a similar stunt.

Marci Anderson Wahl, 38, of Everett was arrested after an alarm sounded about 2:15 a.m. Sunday and she scaled a fence at the Treasury Building, next to the White House. She was charged with unlawful entry and contempt of court.

Wahl was first arrested Tuesday after trying to jump the White House fence. She was charged with unlawful entry and released on her own recognizance after being ordered to stay away from the area.

She was arrested again Friday after officers saw her near Lafayette Park. She was released again on her own recognizance after a Saturday court appearance.
