Heavily Armed Suspect ARRESTED Outside Trump National Golf Club Ahead of Presidential Visit
38 year-old Jeanine John Taele was arrested Sunday with a cache of weapons and body armor outside the club.
Police found a modified AR, hollow-point ammunition, two radio devices and a 1911 Handgun
Yet another potential assassination attempt avoided.
Trump was aboard Air Force 1 on his way to California when deputies announced the arrest. The president is scheduled to attend a Republican National Committee dinner at his Rancho Palos Verdes golf course Tuesday evening.
Deputies identified the man as 38-year-old Jeanine John Taele of Downey, who they said was also under investigation by the El Segundo Police Department in a robbery case.
Taele was taking photos and videos on the grounds, and appeared to be monitoring “security-planning activities,” according to the sheriff’s department. He was arrested on charges of carrying a concealed firearm and possession of prohibited ammunition.
Detectives assigned to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force executed a search warrant for Taele’s residence Monday due to the “potential security implications surrounding the incident,” the sheriff’s department said.
