The Brief Jeanine John Taele, 38, was arrested Sunday at Trump National Golf Club after allegedly monitoring security preparations and posing as a State Department agent ahead of a presidential visit.
Authorities found a loaded handgun, ammunition, body armor, a badge, and notebooks with "concerning statements" in his vehicle and Downey home, leading to federal firearm charges.
Taele faces a federal charge of possessing an unregistered short-barreled rifle alongside local felony charges, and is currently held without bail in Los Angeles County.
