Secret Service Arrests Man After Disturbance at Trump National Doral

The agency said the checkpoint incident did not change security plans for upcoming visits by people it protects.

Overview

  • The man became disruptive at a security screening at the Miami-area club Saturday around 4:15 p.m. and made physical contact with a Secret Service agent before being detained.
  • Agents transferred custody to Doral police, who booked the suspect into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on disorderly conduct and resisting without violence.
  • President Trump was not on the property at the time, though local reports said he had visited the resort earlier in the day.
  • Video of the arrest circulated on social media, with commentator Nick Sortor posting footage and claiming the suspect triggered magnetometers near the checkpoint.
  • Officials stressed the episode did not affect planned protective operations, a point drawing extra attention after last week’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting led to federal charges against Cole Tomas Allen.
