Man arrested near Trump National Golf Club with ammunition before visit to Southern California
A man was arrested near the Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles County over the weekend after authorities found ammunition and a gun inside his car, just days before the president’s planned Southern California visit for a Republican National Committee event on Tuesday.
In a news release shared by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, deputies said that plainclothes federal agents reported a suspicious individual on the property at 1 Trump National Drive in Rancho Palos Verdes on Saturday afternoon.
“The individual was observed walking throughout the golf course grounds taking photographs and videos and appearing to monitor security-planning activities,” the release said.
When deputies approached the man, who has been identified as 38-year-old Downey resident Jeanine John Taele, they determined he was already under investigation by the El Segundo Police Department for a separate incident.
“Deputies detained Taele and located his vehicle in a parking lot on the golf course,” the release said. “During the detention, deputies recovered a 16-round magazine containing hollow point ammunition from Taele’s pants pockets.”
While searching his vehicle, deputies said they also recovered a loaded pistol with a round chambered and an additional loaded magazine that also had hollow point ammo.
Taele was arrested and booked for carrying a concealed firearm and possession of armor-piercing/prohibited ammunition, deputies said.
“Recognizing the potential security implications surrounding the incident, detectives … obtained and executed a search warrant yesterday afternoon for Taele’s residence,” the release said.
Investigators said that an illegally modified AR platform rifle, a 1911 .45 caliber pistol, an AR platform upper receiver, body armor, high-capacity magazines, bulk pistol and rifle ammunition, two radio signal devices and multiple notebooks containing “concerning statements” were recovered from the home.
Deputies said that the investigation is being conducted with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and the U.S. Secret Service.
“Additional charges could be added as the investigation continues. Taele remains in custody,” the release said. “The investigation is ongoing.”
Deputies said that the case was presented to the LA County District Attorney’s Office for filing consideration on Tuesday morning.
President Trump is in Southern California on Tuesday for a Republican National Committee fundraising dinner hosted at his Rancho Palos Verdes golf course.

Afghan boxer accused of killing Scottish charity worker sends deceptive texts
Elizabeth-Jane Ross, a missionary from Scotland, was found dead in an abandoned building in Athens after going missing
The main suspect in the death of a Scottish charity worker tried to concoct a strange cover story after she was killed and stuffed in a suitcase, according to police sources.
The remains of charity worker Elizabeth-Jane Ross, 38, from Edinburgh, were found dumped in Athens on July 18, three days after she was reported missing from her flat.
Sharif Ahmadzai, 26, is suspected of killing her and transporting her body inside a black suitcase through the streets of Athens before dumping it in an abandoned building.
The Afghan boxer allegedly told detectives during an interrogation that Ms Ross was dead when he discovered her, and he put her in a suitcase so he could steal money from her without drawing attention.
Sources close to the case told Greek news outlet Protothema.gr,the suspect used a burner phone to send texts to his wife, friends of Elisabeth and even himself to cover his tracks.
In the messages designed to mislead police, he pretended to be jihadist and claimed to have killed Elisabeth because she was converting Muslims to Christianity through her work helping the homeless in Athens.

She may have rejected the advances of a boxer before she was killed in Greece, a police source claims.

Now George Kalliakmanis, a former officer who leads the police union in the Greek capital, has hinted that a rejection theory cannot be ruled out.
He told The Sun: ‘He went to the flat where she was staying for a reason and it’s not thought that reason is because he wanted to commit robbery and steal her cards.
‘What was it? Nothing can be ruled out. Did she reject him? Nothing can be ruled out.’
Another source close to the investigation said: ‘It can’t be excluded that he had feelings for Ross who rejected him.’

Ahmadzai, who is understood to have access to Ms Ross’s flat through a charity he ran with his wife, is the prime suspect in the investigation.
His wife, an American citizen Alaina Hall, allegedly told detectives her husband went missing on the evening of July 15.
When she checked his location on Find My Friends, it allegedly showed him at Ms Ross’s apartment.
It has also been revealed that Hall, who shares a young child with Ahmadzai, received around £2,200 in cash and a new iPhone from her husband, which she feared may have been bought with Ms Ross’s bank cards.
Elizabeth-Jane Ross was described as a ‘very precious girl’ by the Edinburgh church she had been a member of for two decades
Greek police officers told The Times that his wife’s testimony has been ‘crucial’ to the investigation.
Ahmadzai, who arrived on the Greek island of Lesbos via Pakistan, Iran and Turkey in 2016, met his American wife at a migrant camp, where she volunteered and he worked as a translator.
He has been charged with manslaughter, robbery and weapon offences.
Ms Ross, known as Lisa, was a missionary and a long-standing member of an independent Christian church called City on a Hill in Edinburgh.
Peter Anderson, a pastor of the congregation, paid tribute to her in a social media post: ‘We have lost a precious church member, Lisa. She was a member of our church for 20 years, and a very, very precious girl, and it’s a real tragic loss.
‘Lisa’s life was actually all about mission.
‘She served people and she cared for people all over the world.’
