He was not "apprehended," but arrested when he refused to leave.
Officials had originally said that Gonzalez appeared unarmed as he sprinted across the lawn — potentially one reason agents didn't shoot him or release their service dogs to detain him. But Gonzalez had a small folding knife with a 3 ½-inch serrated blade at the time of the arrest and faces a weapons charge, according to a criminal complaint issued late Friday.

They let him run right up to the door because he didn't APPEAR to be armed? Suppose he'd had explosives under his clothes!!!
