A heavily armed man was arrested on Sunday near Trump National Golf Course in Los Angeles ahead of the president’s planned visit.
The man was carrying firearms, ammo (including hollow point ammunition), and was monitoring President Trump’s security preparation.
President Trump arrived to Southern California on Tuesday for an RNC event.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the male suspect, identified as 38-year-old Jeanine Taele, was observed walking around the golf course, taking photos, and monitoring the security plans.
During the search, investigators recovered:
• An illegally modified AR platform rifle
• A 1911 .45 caliber pistol
• An AR platform upper receiver
• Body armor
• High-capacity magazines
• Bulk pistol and rifle ammunition
• Multiple notebooks containing concerning statements
• Two radio signal devices
First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli said Taele was charged in a federal criminal complaint with possession of an unregistered short-barreled rifle, a felony carrying a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison.
