Jeanine John Taele, 38, from Downey, California, was arrested outside the Rancho Palos Verdes site by plainclothes FBI officers.

An armed man was arrested on Sunday with a stash of weapons and body armor outside Trump National Golf Course in Los Angeles, just two days before the president's visit to California

Jeanine John Taele, 38, from Downey, California, was arrested outside the Rancho Palos Verdes site by plainclothes FBI officers after they determined that he was engaged in suspicious activity, per the New York Post.  

The agents found the man with an illegally modified AR platform rifle, body amor, two radio signal devices, high-capacity magazine, and multiple notebooks that had what was described as "concerning statements." There have been three known previous attempts on the president's life since 2024.



Deputies with the Lomita Sheriff’s Station responded to the golf course at around 3:28 pm on Sunday after the plainclothes officers spotted the suspicious individual walking on the golf course grounds. After the deputies made contact with Taele, they discovered that he was under active investigation for robbery by the El Segundo Police Department. When they searched his person, officers found a 16-round magazine with hollow-point ammunition.  

Authorities later searched his vehicle, where they found a pistol with round in the chamber with other magazines. He was arrested for carrying a concealed firearm with illegal ammunition. A search warrant was later executed at his home. The case is now under investigation and is being handled by local authorities in conjunction with the Secret Service as well as the FBI. There are no other active threats related to the incident, officials confirmed.  

Trump will be arriving in California to talk about his administration's economic record, immigration, and other policies.
