(Daily Signal)—Police arrested a Florida woman outside of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club on Monday after she told Secret Service agents she had an “urgent message” for the president, the Palm Beach Post reported.
Caroline Shaw, 49, of Orlando, had a handgun in her gray Mercedes van, which was taken during her arrest. She told officers she had firearms in her vehicle.
Shaw was charged with driving with a suspended license and failure to register a vehicle, the newspaper reported.
Her vehicle’s registration expired in December 2021, and her Florida driver’s license was suspended in April 2023 for unpaid traffic tickets, according to the newspaper.
She pleaded not guilty on Tuesday before Palm Beach County Judge Donald Hafele. The judge ordered Shaw to have no contact with Trump, Mar-a-Lago, the area around Mar-a-Lago, or any of Trump’s properties.
Trump was in Washington on Monday when she showed up outside his residence.
Shaw is being represented by Palm Beach County Public Defender Daniel Eisinger, according to the Public Defender’s Office. The Daily Signal left a message for her Eisinger Thursday, but he did not immediately respond to the inquiry.
