Trump's Armored Golf Cart Spotted in Scotland
A new addition to President Donald Trump's security detail has made its debut at his golf course in Scotland, where his visit has drawn protests and a bomb threat. As the president hit the links of his Turnberry golf course this weekend, a black golf cart that appeared to be heavily fortified was seen following close behind. Dubbed 'Golf Force One' by media outlets, the souped-up cart arrives roughly 10 months after Trump survived an alleged assassination attempt while golfing. Trump, however, chose to cruise the course in a regular white golf cart on Saturday and Sunday, with the Golf Force One keeping close company. Experts told The Telegraph that the vehicle's heavy armor is evident from the distinctive black band around the windscreen. 'The windscreen is a giveaway, as are the side panels, doors, and the large panel at the rear above the load tray,' said an expert, who asked to remain anonymous due to the confidential nature of his work. The president's official limousine 'The Beast' is similarly fortified. The $1.5 million Cadillac is bulletproof, blast resistant and hermetically sealed against chemical attacks, according to The Telegraph. Trump's private visit has drawn nearly a third of Police Scotland's manpower, according to Daily Mail. Several police snipers were observed setting up positions around the rural area where Trump stayed this weekend. The Independent reports that 1,500 officers have been pulled from their normal duties in support of Trump's four-day visit. Police Scotland has only said the costs would be 'considerable,' according to the Los Angeles Times. But policing for Trump's four-day visit to the U.K. in 2018—which also included two days in Turnberry—cost taxpayers more than $19 million. Widespread protests broke out in the country upon his arrival, with hundreds of demonstrators gathering in Edinburgh and other cities on Saturday, according to The Mirror US. Meanwhile, a man who said he had a bomb and wanted to 'send a message' to Trump forced a Glasgow-bound flight to make an emergency landing Sunday morning. In September 2024, Secret Service agents spotted a man aiming a rifle from the bushes at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida. Trump was approximately 900 to 1500 feet away, according to BBC. Agents fired at the suspect, 58-year-old Ryan Routh, who fled the scene but was later arrested by police about 40 miles from the course. He has pleaded not guilty to federal charges related to the incident. Two months earlier, Trump survived another attempt on his life during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. A U.S. Secret Service spokesperson declined to comment on the 'Golf Force One' when contacted by the Daily Beast, stating, 'The U.S. Secret Service employs a variety of tools and resources to safeguard our protectees. In order to maintain operational security, the Secret Service does not discuss the specific means and methods used to conduct our protective operations.' The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment. Solve the daily Crossword

Former West Des Moines teacher charged with sexual assault, kidnapping of 13-year-old
A former West Des Moines Community School District teacher has been arrested and charged for allegedly kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old in his home. Danny Allen Hoyt, 57, of Indianola, is facing several sex abuse charges after police say he picked up the teenager from Knoxville on July 19 and allegedly made the victim wear a blindfold when they entered the Indianola area and drove to his home in rural Warren County, court documents said. Hoyt allegedly sexually assaulted and restrained the victim to a bed inside his house, court documents said. Hoyt also allegedly forced the the teenager to drink a THC-infused beverage. Hoyt then placed a blindfold on the 13-year-old and dropped them back off in Knoxville, according to a criminal complaint. Authorities found a large quantity of THC products in Hoyt's residence, which included THC vapes, gummies and beverages during a search warrant, according to court documents. Officials from West Des Moines schools told the Register they are aware of Hoyt's charges and said he had been on administrative leave since April 1. Hoyt did not teach students for the remainder of the school year and retired at the end of the spring semester. 'While we cannot comment on the details of an ongoing legal matter or personnel issues, we understand the seriousness of the situation and will fully cooperate with law enforcement as needed,' officials said in a statement. Hoyt is currently being held in the Warren County Jail and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Aug. 4. José Mendiola is a breaking news reporter for the Register.
