A man from California, Jeanine John Taele, 38, is set to appear in court on Wednesday on a federal weapons charge, following his arrest at President Donald Trump’s Los Angeles-area golf course. Taele was initially seen on the property on Friday, wearing an earpiece and capturing images of federal agents conducting a security assessment.
On Sunday, he returned to the course, claiming to be part of the State Department’s security detail and presenting a loaded weapon from his vehicle. Authorities found a 16-round magazine with ammunition in his pocket during the search. Scheduled to appear in federal court in Los Angeles, Taele is already charged in state court with weapons offenses.
He is accused of possessing an unregistered short-barreled rifle, which was discovered at his residence, allegedly an illegally modified AR-style rifle with a 10-inch barrel as opposed to the original 14 inches.
