Authorities in Los Angeles-area reported arresting a man at the Trump National Golf Club in California after they said he had a loaded firearm and ammunition. Multiple outlets report the man was taken into custody after investigators found he also carried ammunition, with some accounts describing a loaded pistol. According to the reports, investigators said he gave a false identity during the arrest. Sources also say the man appeared to be monitoring or observing security-planning activities at the course ahead of President Donald Trump’s visit to Southern California.
The arrest is described as occurring about two days before the president’s scheduled arrival for events at or connected to the club, including a fundraising dinner for the Republican National Committee. One report adds that authorities found weapons not only at the course-related setting but also in the man’s home and vehicle, while describing the overall case as involving alleged security monitoring.
The outlets consistently attribute the reporting to law enforcement announcements and identify the location as the Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles County, California.
