Armed man arrested at Trump’s golf course two days before his fundraiser had a modified AR rifle, body armor and ‘concerning’ notebooks at home.
A heavily armed California man has been arrested at Donald Trump’s golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes, two days before the president was scheduled to host a major Republican fundraising event there.
Jeanine John Taele, 38, was detained on Sunday by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies after being spotted wandering the Trump National Golf Course, taking photographs and appearing to monitor security preparations ahead of Tuesday’s Republican National Committee dinner.
When deputies searched him they found a 16-round magazine loaded with hollow-point ammunition in his pocket. A search of his car revealed a loaded pistol and additional ammunition.
