White House fence jumper, Omar Gonzalez, who made it all the way into the White House last September said Tuesday in court that “I never meant to harm anyone.”
Gonzalez addressed the Court and expressed remorse for his actions and his intent to commit to his treatment that he started in jail.
Gonzalez pleaded guilty to two federal charges; one count of unlawful entry and one count of assaulting officers. He was sentenced to 17 months in jail and 36 months of supervised release. Gonzalez will receive credit of time served starting from Sept. 20. Fines were waived because of Gonzalez’s inability to pay a fine.
The special conditions for his release will be that he is no longer allowed to have firearms, knives or machetes.
He also is required to complete a psychological evaluation from a United States Secret Service psychologist and required to allow the USSS access to his medical records.
Gonzalez also cannot enter the District of Columbia during his supervision unless he is scheduled to appear in court.
Judge Rosemary Collyer gave a strong recommendation to the Bureau of Prisons to allow Mr. Gonzalez to serve his sentence in California where his father resides, telling the court: “Mr. Gonzalez I need you to be released in California. That is where you want to be. I need you to get probation and medical care there.”
Gonzalez scheduled to be released in December.
