Authorities arrested a man with ammo and apparently monitoring security at Trump golf course near LA

Authorities said the suspect had a loaded pistol, ammunition and body armor, and investigators found no credible threat to the public.

  • On Saturday, authorities arrested 38-year-old Jeanine John Taele at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes after agents observed him "taking photographs and videos and appearing to monitor security-planning activities" ahead of President Donald Trump's Tuesday visit.
  • Detectives subsequently searched Taele's Downey residence, discovering an illegally modified AR-platform rifle, body armor, and notebooks containing "concerning statements," according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
  • The investigation, involving the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Secret Service, also uncovered a loaded pistol and hollow-point ammunition in Taele's vehicle at the golf course, authorities said.
  • Authorities confirmed the investigation remains ongoing, though they identified no credible threat to the community; the case has been presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office for filing consideration.
