Authorities in California arrested a man carrying ammunition and a gun near President Donald Trump's golf course in Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The man was allegedly monitoring security preparations two days before a Trump fundraiser at the course. The sheriff's department said there is no credible threat to the community, as reported by infohub.kz.
The 38-year-old man was taken into custody on Sunday at the Trump National Golf Course in Rancho Palos Verdes. He had a 16-round magazine with ammunition in his pocket, and a loaded pistol was found in his car. He was also taking photos and videos of the security setup.
On Monday, authorities searched his home and found a large number of firearms, magazines, ammunition, body armor, and notebooks containing concerning statements. The man was arrested on charges of carrying a concealed firearm and possessing prohibited ammunition. Additionally, he was being investigated by the El Segundo Police Department for robbery.
The sheriff's department emphasized that there is no credible threat to the community. The incident occurred just before Trump was scheduled to attend a fundraising dinner for the Republican National Committee at the golf course.
In 2025, a jury found a man guilty of attempting to assassinate Trump at his Florida country club.
