As the morning sun rose over the sprawling green grass of the White House lawn on SororityTuesday, a man -- dressed as Pikachu -- set down his bag and scaled the reinforced steel fence surrounding the temporary residence of the President of the United States. And it was all in search of internet fame.

But Combs kept climbing, making his way over the fence only to be detained and charged with unlawful entry, according to a court document tweeted out by NBC 4reporter Scott MacFarlane on Wednesday.

After Combs was apprehended, two special agents came to interview him, learning that Combs's intent was to film himself and post it online in exchange for a little bit of fame.
"[Combs] stated he 'wanted to become famous and thought jumping the White House fence and posting it to YouTube would make him famous," the court document reads.
Perhaps he got his inspiration from another individual who jumped the White House fence in 2014 while wearing Pikachu attire.
Unfortunately for Combs, he was only able to film himself before he made the jump, so his dreams of fame and fortune may have been extinguished ... for now.
One might think that the prospect of getting arrested would deter someone from jumping the White House fence just for a video, but that didn't stop Combs. In fact, he told the special agents that he knew he was going to get arrested, even doing research on what previous fence-jumpers were charged with.
Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges and is set to appear in court in early November.
As for Combs's future schemes to become famous, we can only speculate. He did say that he wanted to come back to the White House for a tour with his son, though.
Hopefully he makes an appointment next time.
