According to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, the incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning when the security detail detected that an individual had made it into the inner perimeter at Mar-a-Lago. A deputy and two Secret Service agents on the detail went to that area to investigate. They confronted a white male carrying a gas can and a shotgun near the front gate on the north side of Mar-a-Lago, just inside the inner perimeter.
"He was ordered to drop those two pieces of equipment," Bradshaw said. "He put down the gas can and raised the shotgun to a shooting position."
