A man arrested after he scaled the walls of President Donald Trump’s exclusive Mar-a-Lago resort told police he wanted to ‘spread the gospel’ and marry Trump’s 18-year-old granddaughter, Kai.
Anthony Thomas Reyes, 23, was picked up by Palm Beach Police shortly after midnight on June 3 and was charged with misdemeanor trespassing.
Reyes was first found on the property by US Secret Service agents. The president was in Washington D.C. at the time.
He told officers he climbed over the towering wall which surrounds Mar-a-Lago in search of Kai, who turned 18 just last month.
The teenager was a familiar face on Trump’s campaign trail and has amassed adoring fans, sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of her bond with her grandpa on social media.
