WASHINGTON — Federal authorities have arrested and charged a man for entering U.S. Health and Human Services headquarters by posing as a U.S. Secret Service agent — with false credentials and a badge — who needed to meet with Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 46-year-old Frederick James Nickerson was arrested Tuesday. Documents filed in U.S. District Court say somebody recognized him from photos circulated at HHS as a warning that he was barred from the building. It was unclear why Nickerson was not allowed at the HHS offices.
