Los Angeles County Sheriff’s investigators today announced the weekend arrest of a man who was allegedly taking photos and videos at President Donald Trump‘s Rancho Palos Verdes golf club and “appearing to monitor security-planning activities.” Trump is scheduled to speak at a Republican National Committee fundraiser at the club tonight.
During the Saturday arrest, Jeanine John Taele, 38, of Downey, was also found to be carrying hollow-point ammunition in his pocket and a loaded weapon in his vehicle, which was parked at the Trump National Golf Club, according to the sheriff’s department. A subsequent search of his home found additional weapons, body armor, high-capacity ammunition magazines and “multiple notebooks containing concerning statements,” according to officials.
No details about those statements were released.
