Man Arrested at Trump Doral Security Checkpoint
A man was arrested Saturday afternoon at a security checkpoint outside Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami after becoming disruptive and failing to comply with officers' orders, authorities said. The incident occurred around 4:15 p.m. and involved U.S. Secret Service agents and Doral police. President Donald Trump was not at the property at the time.
Video footage circulating on social media showed the man, dressed in a T-shirt, shorts and baseball cap, shuffling in place as agents handcuffed him near the screening area. He had approached the checkpoint staffed by federal agents and local officers, set off magnetometers and grew agitated, according to Michael Townsend, acting special agent in charge of the Secret Service's Miami field office. The man defied lawful directives and became physical with an agent before being taken into custody, Townsend said.
Doral police charged the unidentified individual with disorderly conduct and resisting an officer without violence. He was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami. The Secret Service confirmed the arrest would not alter security measures for future visits by protectees to the resort.
