A US soldier was arrested at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago golf course in Florida on charges of carrying weapons without a permit and possessing a military badge, according to local authorities. The individual, identified as a former Marine, was detained during a routine security check and later charged with multiple felonies. Law enforcement officials stated that the man was found in possession of a firearm, a military identification badge, and notebooks described as “concerning” by investigators.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, and the man was taken into custody without incident. A spokesperson for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the case is under review, and no further details were immediately released. The man has denied the charges, claiming he was not aware of any wrongdoing.
Authorities have not yet disclosed whether the man was acting alone or if there is any connection to broader security concerns at the Trump estate. The arrest has sparked discussions about security protocols at high-profile locations, particularly following recent events at Mar-a-Lago. (aljazeera.com)
