Security Alert at Trump's Estate

The bizarre incident unfolded last Thursday when 45-year-old Sarah Thompson tried to drive through the main security checkpoint at Trump's Florida residence.

Security staff quickly stopped her vehicle after she failed to show proper credentials.

When questioned by Secret Service agents, Thompson became increasingly animated.

Claims of Marriage and Secret Messages

Thompson told officers she had received "special messages" from the former president through her television.

She insisted Trump had been communicating with her for months, telling her they were secretly married.

"He's expecting me. We got married last week in a private ceremony. Check your files," Thompson reportedly told security personnel.

Professional Response by Security Team

Secret Service agents handled the situation with remarkable patience and professionalism.

They worked to keep the situation calm while ensuring the safety of everyone present, including Thompson herself.

The security team's training for such scenarios proved invaluable during the incident.

Medical Evaluation Reveals Underlying Issues

After speaking with Thompson, officers recognized signs of mental health concerns.

They called in medical professionals to evaluate her condition.

Rather than immediately arresting her, authorities prioritized getting her proper medical attention.

The Final Outcome

Thompson was ultimately taken into custody under Florida's Baker Act, which allows for temporary detention of individuals who may need mental health evaluation.

She was transported to a local medical facility for assessment and care.

The incident highlighted the complex challenges security teams face while protecting high-profile locations.

Mar-a-Lago's security protocols worked exactly as designed, preventing any breach while handling a sensitive situation with appropriate care.

A spokesperson for Trump's team declined to comment on the specific incident but praised the professional response of security personnel and law enforcement.
