A man from Downey, California was arrested near Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles while carrying armor-piercing ammunition on his person and a loaded pistol in his pickup truck, the U.S. Department of Justice said. A federal criminal complaint was filed against him on August 4, 2026, charging him with a firearm offense under federal law.
The arrest took place over the weekend before August 4. No motive was identified in the Justice Department's account or in BBC News reporting on the incident.
BBC News reported that President Trump was scheduled to attend a fundraising dinner at the club shortly after the arrest took place.
