On Saturday afternoon, the Secret Service apprehended a disorderly individual at President Trump’s golf course in Florida. This incident comes only a week after a shooting took place during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The unnamed person was taken into custody at a security checkpoint at Trump Doral National Golf Club around 4:15 p.m. Allegedly, the suspect created a disturbance, ignored commands, and engaged in a physical altercation with a Secret Service agent, according to statements from both the Secret Service and the Doral Police Department.
President Trump was not present at the venue when this event occurred.
Footage shared by conservative commentator Nick Sortor on social media captured the dramatic moments. In the video, the individual appears to be shuffling in place while being handcuffed, having reportedly triggered magnetometers at the club’s entry screening area.
The checkpoint was staffed by federal agents alongside local law enforcement officers, ensuring security at the location.
“At no point did this situation impact the established security posture for any upcoming visits to Trump Doral National Golf Club by Secret Service protectees,” Michael Townsend, Acting Special Agent in Charge of Secret Service Miami told The Post.
The agitator was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting without violence.
He is now being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami, police said.
The incident comes after alleged shooter Cole Allen charged through a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton while armed with a shotgun, knives and other weapons, in an attempt to assassinate Trump and members of his cabinet during last weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The California teacher is charged with attempting to assassinate the president, transporting weapons across state lines with intent to commit a felony, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.
If convicted, the 31-year-old would-be assassin faces up to life in prison.
