A woman has been charged with a crime after her desire to speak to President Donald Trump got the better of her, and she appeared at his residence with a firearm, as Breitbart News reported.
While the president’s life is far from a quiet one, like anyone, he’s likely looking to minimize the number of people who appear at his door with a firearm and an “urgent message.”
But that was not the case earlier this week when Trump’s Beach estate at Mar-a-Lago was swarmed by Secret Service and local police when it was discovered a visitor had brought with her guns and a desire to talk to the Commander in Chief.
More Details
What started as a series of trespassing incidents at the presidential residence ended with additional security measures and renewed attention for who might be wandering the facility.
An arrest affidavit from the Palm Beach Police Department revealed it was 49-year-old Caroline Shaw who approached the south side of the property and told agents she needed to speak to Trump.
She was detained at the time, pending further investigation, and agents took a special interest in her car, which they found did, indeed, contain firearms.
Shaw found herself the proud new owner of misdemeanor charges for an expired vehicle registration and a suspended driver’s license, seemingly slight infractions for someone who appeared at a presidential residence the way she did. She has, according to Newsweek, pleaded not guilty to both.
From Police
The Palm Beach Police Department (PBPD) said shortly after the incident that they responded to Mar-a-Lago due to the Secret Service’s request for assistance with a “suspicious person.”
An assessment of the situation, some review of her more deadly accessories, and it was determined that this was a serious situation, and police took custody of Shaw.
PBPD arrested her and booked her into the Palm Beach County Jail, which, given the circumstances, could have been considerably worse.
The Residence
Mar-a-Lago is located in South Florida and is where Trump spends the majority of his free time, in addition to his resort in New Jersey. Both places are protected by local law enforcement as well as the Secret Service.
Since his first term, Mar-a-Lago has been host to a number of high-level meetings, and due to the nature of the club’s semi-public venue status, there have been some interesting security challenges.
Thanks to the high-profile nature of the president, not just for his politics, but also his position, there have been an increasing number of individuals arrested for their unauthorised presence at Mar-a-Lago.
This includes Chinese nationals who attempted to trespass on the property after the election late last year. Some have been attempting to enter under false pretenses, some have carried electronic equipment, and some have just said they’d like to speak to Trump.
