A man has been charged with jumping over a wall at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida this week.
Bijan Arceo, aged 32, faced charges of trespassing with intent to commit an offense after Palm Beach police officers were called to the club shortly after 6 p.m. on Tuesday to support Secret Service agents who had apprehended an individual on the premises.

Police said Arceo got inside the resort from South Ocean Boulevard by the north service gate, Fox 29 reported, citing a police affidavit.
Arceo had not entered the sweep area or had been granted permission to enter the protected site, the Secret Service said.

Around the property were numerous signs that state “No Trespassing,” with tall gates that remain closed when not in use.
Fox News Digital sought comments from both the Palm Beach Police Department and the Secret Service regarding the incident. Arceo is currently detained at the Palm Beach County jail on a bond of $20,000, according to jail records available.
