In what appears to be yet another close call for President Trump, authorities have revealed that an armed man was taken into custody Sunday at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. Concerningly, it appears the man was caught while observing security practices being implemented at the resort.
Plainclothes federal agents spotted Jeanine John Taele, 38, of Downey, California, walking around the golf club while photographing and recording activities taking place on the property. One of those activities was reportedly the security preparations being made for the president’s Tuesday-night Republican fundraiser at the club.
Authorities said Taele appeared to be watching or documenting security preparations when Lomita Sheriff’s Station deputies arrived around 3:30 PM PT and detained him. After he was detained, it was determined that Taele was already under investigation for robbery by the El Segundo Police Department.
During a pat-down, deputies allegedly recovered a 16-round magazine loaded with hollow-point ammunition from Taele’s pants pocket. Authorities then searched his vehicle, which was parked in the golf course parking lot, and recovered a loaded pistol with a round chambered, along with another loaded magazine containing hollow-point ammunition.
Taele was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed firearm and possessing prohibited ammunition.
When searching Taele’s home, investigators reportedly 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; two radio signal devices; and multiple notebooks containing what authorities described as “concerning statements.””
