Overview
- Caroline Shaw approached Mar-a-Lago’s south gate on July 7 claiming she had an urgent message for President Trump and admitted to having firearms in her vehicle.
- Palm Beach Police and U.S. Secret Service agents arrested Shaw, seized a handgun from her van and secured her vehicle for further investigation.
- She faces misdemeanor counts for driving with a suspended license and operating a vehicle with expired registration that lapsed in December 2021.
- A judge set her bond at $2,000, ordered no contact with Trump or any of his properties and prompted a petition to remove her access to firearms for one year under Florida’s risk protection order process.
- Shaw is free on bond under no-contact and weapons restrictions as local and federal agencies coordinate the probe ahead of her July 14 hearing.
