An unidentified man was arrested early this morning for approaching the security perimeter by Barack Obama's South Side house. The house, located near the intersection of 50th Street and Greenwood, is surrounded by some security barriers and signs warning that only authorized personnel are allowed. No charges have been filed yet, and police say it appears the man did not have any weapons in his possession. He's currently being interviewed by police and charges have not been filed. Speculation is that Sen. Obama was probably home at the time as he attended two fundraisers in the city last night before heading off today to Florida to prepare for Friday night's debate.
