A man has been arrested after he jumped a fence to access Donald Trump‘s exclusive Mar-a-Lago resort.
Bijan Arceo, a 32-year-old former real estate agent, was taken into custody on Wednesday, just two days after Trump’s inauguration in Washington D.C.
He has been charged with trespassing with the intent to commit an offense.
Palm Beach police officers arrived at the Mar-a-Lago Club to assist U.S. Secret Service agents who found Arceo inside the resort.
It is understood Arceo was seen climbing over the wall near the north service gate by South Ocean Boulevard.
The club is littered with signs which read ‘No Trespassing.’
Arceo was arrested at the scene.
‘While the incident had no impact on our protective operations, we take these matters extremely seriously,’ a spokesperson told Fox.

‘This arrest is being handled at the local level and we remain thankful to the Town of Palm Beach Police Department for their quick response and partnership.’
According to a Zillow profile, Arceo was a real estate agent in 2018 in Colorado, NBC Miami reports.
He is not the first person arrested for trying to trespass at Mar-a-Lago.
In November, Chinese national Zijie Li, 39, from Los Angeles, was arrested after making multiple attempts over the past five months to get past security.
Li had repeatedly claimed he wanted to speak with Trump.
He had been placed under the Baker Act – which allows for a person to be involuntarily held and to receive mental health treatment when they are considered a threat to themselves or others.
He was later released and given a bond which prevented him from going within 500 feet of Trump or Mar-a-Lago.
But just eight days later he tried his luck again, attempting to pass through the Mar-a-Lago checkpoint as a passenger in a rideshare.
For the latest incident, his bond has been set at $100,000.
