A heavily armed man was arrested at a Trump golf club in California before Donald Trump was scheduled to visit, according to reports. The arrest occurred at the golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes, where authorities said the man had attracted attention through what was described as suspicious behavior.
Weapons were found during the incident, and the man now faces a federal charge. The available reports did not indicate that he entered the club with an announced intent to harm Trump or anyone else, and the circumstances surrounding the arrest remained under investigation.
The arrest took place as Trump supporters and protesters gathered in the area ahead of the visit. Reports described clashes between the two groups, although the armed-man case was treated as a separate law-enforcement matter.
Federal authorities are expected to handle the charge through the court system. Further details about the allegations, the weapons involved and the events leading to the arrest had not been provided in the initial reports.
