On Monday, Caroline Shaw, 49, of Orlando, was taken into police custody outside President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach.
According to a probable cause affidavit, police responded around 10 p.m. after Shaw approached the south gate of Mar-a-Lago and told agents “she had an urgent message for the President of the United States.”
According to Click Orlando, “Secret Service and Palm Beach deputies were already searching Shaw’s van when the reporting officer arrived, noting she had allegedly followed up her request to speak to Trump by telling his agents that there were firearms in the vehicle.”
For now, Shaw is charged with driving with a suspended license and failure to register a vehicle. She has pleaded not guilty to these charges.
Per the Palm Beach Daily News:
Trump was in Washington, D.C., when Shaw reportedly drove her gray Mercedes van to the south gate of Mar-a-Lago just before 10 p.m. July 7.
Secret Service agents told Palm Beach Police who responded to the scene that Shaw parked her van on Southern Boulevard and walked to the estate’s south gate, where she said she wanted to speak with Trump to deliver an urgent message, according to an arrest report.
Shaw told agents there were firearms in her van, and the arrest report said a handgun was seized during Shaw’s arrest.
Palm Beach Daily News adds that in addition to the misdemeanor charges she faces, Palm Beach Police has “filed a petition for a risk protection order to prevent Shaw from having access to weapons or ammunition for at least a year, court records show.”
