A woman was arrested in Florida after appearing at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, claiming to be his wife.The woman, identified as Christy Renee Kimbrell, was taken into custody on Tuesday and charged with misdemeanor trespassing.Palm Beach Police officers responded shortly after noon following reports of an “unwanted guest” attempting to deliver a letter to the president, according to an arrest report obtained by the Palm Beach Post.Kimbrell, 49, reportedly told US Secret Service agents that she was Trump’s wife, identifying herself as “Christy Renee Trump” and demanded to see him. At the time, the president was in the United Kingdom on a state visit with his actual wife and first lady Melania Trump.Police recognized Kimbrell from previous attempts to enter the residence. Court records indicate that she is homeless. A probable cause affidavit stated that she had received a written trespass warning in May after repeatedly contacting Mar-a-Lago security and police to demand entry.According to the Independent, Kimbrell later arrived at the Palm Beach Bath & Tennis Club in an Uber and told security that the president had told her to “come back home.”After her arrest, a Secret Service spokesperson said the agency was working closely with the Palm Beach Police Department. “While the incident had no impact on our protective operations, we take these matters extremely seriously,” the spokesperson said. “This arrest is being handled at the local level, and we remain grateful to the Palm Beach Police Department for their quick response and partnership.”Kimbrell appeared before a Palm Beach County judge on Wednesday. She was ordered to have no contact with the president, Mar-a-Lago or Trump International Golf Club. The judge also instructed her to schedule a mental health evaluation within 30 days and prohibited her from using alcohol, illegal drugs or medications not prescribed to her.
