An armed man was arrested Sunday outside Trump National Golf Club in Southern California after federal agents reported a suspicious person walking the property, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Investigation Underway

The Secret Service is investigating whether the person posed a threat to President Donald Trump, a federal law enforcement source said. The source noted there was no current indication the person was plotting an attack on the president, but the investigation is ongoing.

Deputies identified the man as 38-year-old Jeanine John Taele of Downey, who is 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.

Taele was arrested on charges of carrying a concealed semi-automatic rifle 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.

Investigators recovered an illegally modified AR-style rifle, a .45 caliber pistol, body armor, high-capacity magazines, ammunition, radio signal devices, and multiple notebooks containing concerning statements. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and Secret Service are aiding in the investigation, and additional charges could be added as the investigation continues.
