Two people were arrested in South Florida Friday after breaching security checkpoints around President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, police say.
The US Secret Service said Florida Highway Patrol first tried to make a traffic stop on Palm Beach Island. But instead of pulling over, the driver of the black SUV sped off toward Trump’s property and breached two security checkpoints near the Mar-a-Lago Club.
Those on the scene responded by opening fire at the vehicle, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office .
The individuals in the SUV – who have not yet been identified – were later taken into custody after being pursued by Florida Highway Patrol and a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office helicopter.
Trump is scheduled to be in Palm Beach during Super Bowl weekend. He was in Washington at the time of the incident.
