Armed suspect detained at golf club Trump was scheduled to visit

Security forces took action at the Trump National Golf Club, which was on the itinerary for U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to the state of California. According to reports in the U.S. press, Los Angeles Sheriff's Department teams detained an individual on Sunday who was believed to be conducting reconnaissance by taking photos and videos at the facility in Rancho Palos Verdes.

It was reported that the operation was launched after federal agents noticed the individual acting suspiciously on the club grounds and notified the authorities.

WEAPON FOUND ON SUSPECT AND IN VEHICLE

The individual detained was identified as 38-year-old Jeanine John Taele, a resident of Downey, California. It was reported that a 16-round magazine and ammunition were found on the suspect, and a loaded handgun was discovered in their vehicle.

It was also noted that Taele is among the suspects in a robbery investigation being conducted by the El Segundo Police Department.

NUMEROUS WEAPONS FOUND AT HOME

Authorities announced that a search of the suspect's home in Downey uncovered numerous firearms, magazines, ammunition, body armor, and notebooks containing "concerning statements."

However, it was stated that no definitive evidence has been found within the scope of the investigation to suggest that the suspect was preparing an attack on Donald Trump.
