A woman was accused of trying to break into the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) headquarters in McLean, Virginia, multiple times in the last two weeks, demanding to speak to “Agent Penis.”

According to a criminal complaint filed by the police Monday, 58-year-old Jennifer G. Hernandez had attempted to trespass on the CIA headquarters four times – three of them in a row – without valid reason or explanation. Officer Mirko Peña with the Security Protective Service (SPS) of the CIA wrote in the complaint that he encountered the defender on May 3 at 4:25 p.m. EDT at the visitor control center of the headquarters.

"Upon arrival, the defendant provided her Iowa identification card, requested to recover her North Carolina identification card, and requested to speak to Agent Penis,” he wrote, adding that he reviewed her records and discovered she had tried to trespass into the headquarters on April 22, May 1 and 2, too.

Police officers asked the defendant to leave after handing her ID back. They even escorted her to the bus stop and waited with her till the next bus arrived. Although she had mentioned she planned to take public transport home, she turned to the officers when the bus arrived and said, “Do you really think I’m going to leave?”

“Officers then warned the defendant that if she did not depart the premises, she would be arrested. The defendant then declined to board the bus and stated that ‘l am not leaving.’ Officers thereupon arrested the defendant for remaining on an Agency installation after being ordered to leave,” the document stated.

When the first time she arrived at the main entrance of the spy agency on April 22, she attempted to enter the property via the main vehicle entrance and was stopped by a police officer. At the time, she explained to the officer that she had applied for employment at the agency and her recruiter had directed her to come by the headquarters. After authorities failed to verify the woman’s story, she was asked to leave the premises.

The woman returned to the headquarters in a Lyft car May 1. Officers met her via video call and after she provided a similar story as the first day, she was given a written warning. She was also told if she tried to return to the CIA premises, she would be cited or worse, arrested.

The following day, the woman showed up at the main entrance of the headquarters in an Uber cab. Hernandez told the officers she needed to get into the property because her recruiter told her so and that she had no way of contacting her recruiter because her phone was switched off. After she provided them with a North Carolina ID card, she received a citation for trying to trespass on the agency’s installation without proper authorization. The woman eventually departed by a Metro bus.

Hernandez was charged with a Class B misdemeanor offense. She was booked into the Alexandria city jail.
