A man found himself in custody at Florida’s Trump National Doral Golf Club on Tuesday following allegations of a confrontation with Secret Service agents, where he reportedly became unruly and made physical contact with one of the agents, according to authorities.
The altercation occurred at approximately 4:15 p.m. when the individual approached a security checkpoint overseen by both Secret Service personnel and local law enforcement, as detailed in a release from the Secret Service’s Miami office.
Authorities reported that the man was uncooperative and refused to adhere to instructions.
“Throughout the incident, the individual was disruptive and did not comply with lawful directives,” explained Acting Special Agent in Charge Michael Townsend. “He proceeded to make physical contact with a Secret Service member, leading to his arrest without further complications.”

“The president was not on site at the time of the incident,” Townsend said. “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.”
Officials directed further questions about the suspect and charges to the Doral Police Department.
