Washington: A 26-year-old New Jersey man has been charged with criminal mischief for allegedly driving his car onto President Donald Trump's golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, and doing "doughnuts" on the greens.

Richard McEwan was arrested late Monday at his home in Milford, New Jersey, the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office said. Police said he drove onto Trump's course twice in the last week, driving in circles on two different greens and causing at least $US17,000 ($24,000) in damage.

The latest incident happened on Sunday afternoon: A witness reported seeing a blue Ford sedan with a Rutgers University sticker driving on the 13th green of one course. Police said the witness got a partial look at the car's license plate, and that led them to McEwan.

Prosecutors said Tuesday that McEwan had been released and would return for a future court date.
