On Friday, plainclothes federal agents noticed a “suspicious individual” on the golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes while they were conducting a security assessment ahead of Trump’s scheduled visit, according to a press release on Tuesday from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for California’s Central District.
Taele returned to the golf course Sunday afternoon, prompting staff to alert federal agents, according to the press release, which alleged that Taele approached the federal agents and claimed the State Department hired him as part of a security detail.
Deputies found a magazine with ammunition from Taele’s pants pocket, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said, adding that a subsequent search of his pick-up truck in the golf club’s parking lot yielded a loaded pistol, an additional loaded magazine, a pair of binoculars, and a badge that read, “security protection agent.”
An unnamed federal law enforcement source told CNN that the Secret Service is looking into whether the person posed a threat to Trump.
At the state level, according to a felony complaint filed Tuesday in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Taele faces several firearms-related charges: carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle; possessing a short-barreled rifle or shotgun; and manufacturing, importing, keeping for sale, or giving or receiving a large-capacity magazine. He also faces the second-degree robbery charge for the incident in November 2025.
Taele remained in custody as of early Wednesday, the Sheriff’s Department told TIME, and he is set to appear in state court on Aug. 26. His bail is set at $250,000.
Authorities say that the man’s motives are still under investigation and have not publicly alleged that Taele planned an assassination attempt on Trump. But the incident at the Trump golf course recalls previous assassination attempts on the President.
Despite the recent potential security concern, Trump appeared unfazed, suggesting to Fox News on Tuesday that such incidents only target Presidents with relevance: “The only thing I get a little solace from is they say only consequential Presidents, and I am definitely consequential.”
