The Scotland police on Saturday arrested and charged a man in connection with the anti-Trump paraglider protest at President Trump's Turnberry golf course, according to the New York Times.
The police said in a statement that they had arrested the 55-year-old man in connection with an incident when a "powered parachute was flown in the vicinity of the Turnberry Hotel."
The man reportedly flew through a no-fly zone.
Videos shared on social media on Friday night showed a man flying over Trump's Scottish golf resort carrying a banner that read "Trump: Well Below Par."
The protest was apparently organized by Greenpeace, an environmental organization with chapters all over the world, who said they were hoping to draw attention to Trump's record on the environment and immigration.
The Greenpeace U.K. Twitter account posted they hit the president "where it hurts - at his golf course."
"Trump does not believe in climate change," Greenpeace tweeted on Saturday. "He's pulled the US out of the Paris Agreement, and is committed to burning more climate wrecking coal. We couldn't let him get away with a quiet game of golf... #resist"
The protest was one of dozens spawned by Trump's visit to the United Kingdom last week. Thousands of protestors marched across Scotland during the American president's visit over the weekend, decrying Trump's approach to foreign relations, immigration, the environment, and much more.
Several chanted "No Trump, no K.K.K., no racist USA!" as Trump played golf on Saturday, according to the Times.
Hundreds of thousands gathered to protest in London, accompanied by a blimp depicting Trump as a crying baby.
Trump's visit to the U.K. has so far between mired in controversy, from his derogatory remarks about U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May to his pointed insults about the media.
Trump is slated to meet with Russian President Putin on Monday, though he stated on Sunday that he has "low expectations" for the summit.
Prediction: He walks.
“Trump: Well Below Par.”
That is a compliment in the world of golf.
Sounds like the no-fly zone was only a suggestion...
He’ll be sentenced to a few days of community service, of an environmental nature.

The Greenpeace paraglider could have been referring to his own IQ.
And some security people should be undergoing retraining. The paraglider could just as well have been an islamoterrorist suicide paraglider loaded with nails and explosives.
It's called a "no-fly zone" for a reason.

good
sure he does, should never have gotten anywhere near where he was.
No racist USA???Fine. I’ll bet they don’t need our racist money or support either. Winnng!
I still feel the SS should have blown his ass out of the sky..If they are allowed to have live amo ?
“Several chanted “No Trump, no K.K.K., no racist USA!” as Trump played golf on Saturday, according to the Times.”
The way that’ written is disingenuous. There were no protesters on the golf course.
The media lies.
You got me to thinking. If I was Trump, would I trust having SS agents with live ammo around me? I certainly wouldn't trust any armed FBI agents.
I wish our president would stay out of hostile, anti-American countries.
Here’s what the trip that President Trump took July, 2018 taught me:
I shall not care about anything that happens to West Europe.
Learn to live in the terrible situations that were created by YOU.
Never surrender an inch of Western Civilization.
At the time, Detective Inspector Stephen McCulloch said: We are investigating a breach of the air exclusion zone over Turnberry Hotel, which is a criminal offence.
Greenpeace said they told Police Scotland about their intentions beforehand, as well as informing air traffic control at nearby Prestwick Airport.

The sad thing is that today, the young riff-raff don’t know what the term, “Western Civilization” means. Therefore, they have no interest in saving the culture, traditions, mores, and values handed down through Millenia to us all.
Of course, the blame can be given to the parents and teachers of the present generation.
I’d believe tens of thousands. “Hundreds of thousands” is an exaggeration. Fake News follows President Donald J Trump like a forlorn puppy.
You can probably rest assured those SS guys are armed. Heavily.
Now, I definitely wouldn’t want FBI Peter Strozk anywhere near the President. Not at all.
