United States: Local cops arrested an armed man outside Donald Trump’s Coachella Valley rally on Saturday, and the local sheriff said it may have been a third assassination attempt against the former president.
The suspect — identified as 49-year-old Las Vegas resident Vem Miller — was caught at a checkpoint about a quarter-mile from the rally with fake VIP passes to the rally and fake press passes — as well as unregistered weapons, including a loaded shotgun, a handgun, and a high-capacity magazine, according to the Riverside County sheriff’s office.
Miller did not have a valid ID when he was stopped at the rally checkpoint and was detained after police searched his vehicle and found the weapons, law enforcement sources told The Post.
“We probably stopped another assassination attempt,” Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said, according to the Riverside Press-Enterprise.
According to FOX LA, the 49-year-old “was also in possession of multiple passports with different names ” and multiple driver’s licenses.
“The safety of former President Trump or attendees of the event was not affected by this incident,” the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office stated in The Daily Mail.
