It took a while but we are finally learning more on the trespasser who apparently refused to leave Mar-a-Lago this morning.
The details are still somewhat sparse but here’s what we know.
Via New York Post:
Police cited a male trespasser at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate Thursday, prompting the Secret Service to carry out a sweep of the Florida resort.
Palm Beach officers descended on the property just after 8 a.m. following reports a man was refusing to leave.
“At 8:08 this morning, we had a male subject that was stopped at one of the gates refusing to leave the property,” Capt. Will Rothrock told The Post in a statement.
“We responded, spoke briefly with him, and he was issued a written warning for trespass and he left the area so there wasn’t an incident report or anything associated with it.”
It wasn’t immediately clear why the unidentified man initially refused to leave Trump’s estate. The incident was first reported by Fox News.
The Secret Service, which alerted cops in the first place, conducted a search of the property in the wake of the incident.
So we don’t know why he was there in the first place and why he chose to leave. Could have been a friend or foe, politically speaking, but police aren’t saying.
Either way, I’m glad it amounted to nothing and hopefully the trespasser will heed his warning and not return.
