According to a police report, a Palm Beach officer spotted the teens sitting in a parked car early in the morning about 2 miles north of Mar-a-Lago. When he turned on his overhead lights, the car sped south toward Mar-a-Lago.
From there, the three then jumped Mar-a-Lago’s wall and hid on the resort’s grounds before officers surrounded the club, and a helicopter and police dog were used to help find them, Fox News reports.
Michael Ogrodnick, the Palm Beach Police Department spokesperson, told the Miami Herald that the three were arrested shortly after entering the property. “They had no idea where they were,” he explained. When a cop asked the group about the rifle, one of them allegedly told the officer he “found it.” It was noted that the president and his family were not at the club.
All three face charges of armed trespassing, armed burglary, and resisting arrest without violence. WPTV reported that the teens, whose identities have not been released, are being held at the Juvenile Assessment Center in West Palm Beach.
