Florida Man Arrested for Theft at Mar-a-Lago

A 52-year-old man from Sarasota was arrested for attempting to enter Mar-a-Lago in a stolen Hyundai Kona, seeking to speak with President-elect Donald Trump. This incident, occurring around 9:15 p.m. on Thursday, marks the third arrest at the property in recent months, highlighting increased security during Trump's transition period. The suspect, who has a suspended driver's license, was detained by U.S. Secret Service and local police after it was discovered that the vehicle was rented by a woman who claimed she had not given him permission to take it. He now faces charges of vehicle theft and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license, with a bond set at $5,250 pending his court appearance. The woman had met the man earlier in the day to discuss a potential car purchase, but returned from the bank to find her rental car missing. Authorities continue to tighten security measures at Mar-a-Lago due to unauthorized access incidents.
