A Florida man who broke into a Secret Service vehicle in Palm Beach County has pleaded guilty to theft of government property.

Cleveland Cooley Jr., 36, broke into a Secret Service car that was parked at a Courtyard by Marriott while President Trump was visiting in March.

The Riviera Beach man faces up to 10 years in prison when he is sentenced on June 30 in U.S. District Court, according to CBS 47. 

Authorities said Cooley stole a wireless modern, a First Aid trauma kit, two Toughbook tablets and a tripod kit. He then tried to sell one of the tablets.

Cooley told authorities that he was assisted by two people he identified as “Arties” and “Trey.”

No additional arrests have been made.
