A woman was taken into custody after she attempted to access Mar-a-Lago, insisting she had “an urgent message” for former President Donald Trump and mentioning there were firearms in her car.

The woman, named Caroline Shaw, 49, from Orlando, was arrested on July 7 for allegedly driving with a suspended license and for not registering her vehicle, as per court papers seen by Fox News Digital. 

During the event, Trump was in Washington, D.C., while Shaw reportedly drove what officers identified as a Mercedes van to Mar-a-Lago’s south gate just before 10 p.m. and parked it on Southern Boulevard.

According to an arrest report, she then walked to the gate and told US Secret Service agents she needed to “speak with Trump urgently.” 

Shaw then informed agents there were guns in her vehicle. Based on Shaw’s claim, agents took her into custody and “secured the vehicle pending further investigation.” 

It was not disclosed if guns were found inside Shaw’s vehicle. 

Records indicate Shaw’s driver’s license had also been suspended since April 23, 2023, due to unpaid traffic fines, and her car’s registration expired in December 2021.

On July 9, Shaw remained in custody at the Palm Beach County Jail on $2,000 bond.

She entered a not-guilty plea during a court appearance July 8, where a judge prohibited her from going near Trump, Mar-a-Lago or any of his properties.

In addition to the vehicle-related misdemeanors, Palm Beach Police also filed a request for a risk protection order, which would bar Shaw from possessing guns or ammunition for at least one year. 

Shaw’s arrest is the latest in several recent security incidents involving individuals attempting to access Mar-a-Lago.

Among the other notable arrests:

Zijie Li, 39, a Chinese citizen from California, was arrested July 31 after multiple alleged attempts to enter Mar-a-Lago.

He was later found incompetent to stand trial.

Farbod Dolat, 53, of Sarasota was arrested Nov. 14 for allegedly driving a stolen vehicle to the estate to meet Trump.

He faces felony charges.

Patrick Webster Warren, 42, of South Carolina was taken into custody Aug. 13 after bypassing barricades.

He told officers he wanted Trump’s autograph.

Ruby Rodriguez, 62, of California, was charged with trespassing in December after trying to gain access to the club.

She was sentenced to probation.

A teenager was apprehended Dec. 5 after allegedly planning to graffiti “Carthage vs. Rome” on a Mar-a-Lago wall.

Bijan Arceo, 32, of Sunny Isles Beach, jumped the estate’s wall in January.

He was diverted to a pretrial program with community service and conditions to avoid further arrests or contact with the property.

Jeffrey Daniel Olson was arrested in February for entering restricted grounds and faces federal charges.

Adrienne Tajirian, 58, from Pennsylvania, attempted to dine with Donald Trump Jr. in April. She was sentenced to probation in May.

Anthony Thomas Reyes, 23, of Texas, was arrested June 3 after reportedly scaling the estate’s wall, claiming he wanted to “spread the gospel” and marry Trump’s granddaughter.

He was released on $50,000 bond after pleading not guilty to a misdemeanor trespassing charge.
