ATLANTA — Police are investigating a second breach at the world's busiest airport in less than a month.
They told Channel 2 Action News a maintenance worker installing lights spotted a man identified as 22-year-old E'Donis Andrews in a restricted area Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and called 911. Police said Andrews got past the perimeter fence and into a security identification display area.
He faces a charge of criminal trespassing.
In June, a man identified as Jhryin Jones was arrested after making his way onto the tarmac.
Police said he jumped a fence before running toward the planes.

Airport officials said policy, procedure and a barrier are already in place, but they're looking at enhancing security.
The director of security at Hartsfield-Jackson, Jan Lennon, addressed the concerns.
"Where we are is actually right across from where we had the first incident," Lennon said. "We had two in two weeks. We have not had that before. The last one we had with somebody with the fence was maybe about seven years ago, but again none of them have been with any malicious intent -- just some arbitrarily person who entered the fence line."
In both incidents Lennon said airport employees were instrumental in identifying the breach. Airport security have just under 30 miles of security fence to constantly assess and patrol.
