California cops say they have arrested an armed man at Donald Trump’s golf course just two days before the president’s Tuesday visit. The man was walking the grounds of the Rancho Palos Verdes club in Southern California carrying a 16-round magazine with ammunition in his pocket, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said. Jeanine John Taele, 38, was taking photos and video of security at the course, according to authorities, which added that a loaded pistol was also found in his car. Taele was arrested for carrying a concealed firearm and having prohibited ammunition. Authorities said they searched his home on Monday, finding firearms, magazines, ammo, and notebooks with “concerning statements.” The Los Angeles Times reported that he was already under investigation for robbery by the El Segundo Police Department. No other details about a potential target or motive have been provided by officials.
