Amanda Ayres Kerwin, a 37-year-old Florida woman, was arrested at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, March 24, for charging into a restricted Secret Service area while intoxicated. Kerwin entered the area a couple of hours after an appearance from First Lady Melania Trump.
Kerwin, 37, was charged by West Palm Beach Police with disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest without violence over the incident on Friday, March 24. She was reportedly so intoxicated she was “talking to empty cars.”
First lady Melania Trump made an appearance a couple of hours prior at the Palm Beach County Republican Party’s annual Lincoln Day fundraising dinner. It is unclear whether Kerwin was attending the event or if she is a club member.

Kerwin rushed toward a Secret Service restricted area, “which was perceived as a danger to another person,” the report stated.After Kerwin tried to rush into the security zone, Secret Service agents escorted her outside and police were summoned.
When Officer Alexander Tfank arrived shortly before 11:00 P.M., he smelled alcohol on Kerwin’s breath, according to the report. Kerwin was yelling profanity at one of the security guards, was talking to unoccupied vehicles, and was making “incoherent statements,” the report said.
At 11:23 P.M., officers took Kerwin to the Palm Beach Police Department, where she refused to get into a holding cell, according to the report. They eventually shut the door and later took Kerwin to the Palm Beach County Jail.
According to records from the Palm Beach County Jail, Kerwin was released on her own recognizance on Saturday, March 25.
