NYPD suspends detective who snuck into Ryder Cup pretending to be on Trump's security detail

President Donald Trump and Bryson DeChambeau walk to the first tee together at Bethpage Black during the Friday afternoon session of the Ryder Cup.

The New York Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that a detective was suspended without pay after pretending to be a part of President Donald Trump’s security detail to sneak into the Ryder Cup.

According to the New York Post, Det. Melvin Eng attended the biennial tournament at Bethpage Black on Friday, the same day Trump and his granddaughter, aspiring golfer Kai, attended the event.

The Post said Eng was out on sick leave but arrived at the Long Island golf course in full tactical gear.

Eng is now facing administrative charges for theft of services.

Eng was in the clear until he dropped his magazine in front of working security.

One police source told the Post that Eng "got in there with his gun, past Secret Service, past the state police."

Friday was the first of three days of the tournament, with tee-off at 7:10 a.m. ET. Fans were implored to arrive as early as possible to the event due to TSA-like screening because of Trump’s attendance.
