An armed man was arrested outside Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, after federal agents observed him taking photos and videos of security preparations ahead of an appearance by President Donald Trump.

The suspect, identified as 38-year-old Jeanine John Taele of Downey, California, was spotted by plainclothes federal agents on Sunday as he walked the grounds of the course while appearing to monitor security-planning activities. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene and detained Taele, discovering a 16-round magazine containing hollow-point ammunition in his pants pocket and a loaded handgun inside his vehicle.

Follow-up search warrants executed at Taele’s residence led to the seizure of an illegally modified AR-style rifle, additional firearms, high-capacity magazines, body armor, radio signal equipment, and notebooks containing what officials described as “concerning statements.” Taele was formally charged with multiple weapons-related offenses, including carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle and possession of prohibited ammunition, as well as an unrelated robbery charge. He pleaded not guilty in court, where a judge set his bail at $250,000 and issued a stay-away order for the golf course.

The arrest occurred two days before President Trump was scheduled to attend a fundraising dinner for the Republican National Committee at the property. While the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department noted that investigators have identified “no credible threat to our communities,” the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and the U.S. Secret Service have joined local law enforcement in the ongoing investigation.
