A woman was arrested after approaching Mar-a-Lago, claiming she had “an urgent message” for President Donald Trump and stating that there were guns inside her vehicle.

The woman, identified as Caroline Shaw, 49, of Orlando, was detained July 7 on accusations of driving with a suspended license and failing to register her vehicle, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. 

At the time of the incident, Trump was in Washington, D.C., when Shaw allegedly drove what was described by law enforcement as a Mercedes van to the south gate of Mar-a-Lago shortly before 10 p.m. and parked along Southern Boulevard. According to an arrest report, she then walked to the gate and told U.S. Secret Service agents she needed to “speak with Trump urgently.” 

Shaw then informed agents there were guns in her vehicle. Based on Shaw’s claim, agents took her into custody and “secured the vehicle pending further investigation.”
