一名38岁加州男子詹尼恩·约翰·泰勒周日在位于洛杉矶地区的特朗普国家高尔夫俱乐部被捕[1]。泰勒声称受雇于国务院从事安全工作,冒充特勤人员进入球场进行所谓的安全评估[1]。
执法部门搜查泰勒的车辆时,发现一把已装弹的9毫米手枪和16发弹匣[1]。随后对其住所的搜查进一步查获非法改装AR式步枪,该步枪的枪管从原来的14英寸被锯短至10英寸,以及相关弹药和伪造安全证件[1]。泰勒因联邦无证短管步枪持有罪面临指控,定于周三出庭[1]。
FBI洛杉矶办公室助理主任帕特里克·格兰迪表示,"没有犯错的余地,特别是考虑到之前针对特朗普的暗杀企图"[1]。特朗普原计划周一访问该高尔夫球场参加筹款晚宴[1]。
A 38-year-old California resident was arrested at Trump National Golf Club near Los Angeles after impersonating a Secret Service agent to access the facility for what he claimed was a security assessment.[1] The suspect, Jannien John Taylor, was taken into custody on Sunday at the course in Rancho Palos Verdes.[1]
During the arrest, authorities discovered a loaded 9-millimeter handgun with 16 rounds of ammunition in Taylor's vehicle, along with forged security credentials.[1] A subsequent search of his home revealed an illegally modified AR-style rifle with the barrel sawed down from 14 inches to 10 inches, as well as additional ammunition.[1] Taylor has been charged with federal counts related to possessing an unregistered short-barrel rifle and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.[1]
Patrick Grandy, assistant director of the FBI's Los Angeles office, emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating that "there is no margin for error, particularly in light of previous assassination attempts against Trump."[1] The arrest occurred days before Trump was scheduled to visit the golf club on Monday for a fundraising dinner.[1]
