Man with Weapons Arrested Near Trump Rally in California

Police arrested a man with illegal firearms close to a Donald Trump rally in Coachella, California.


A 49-year-old man, Vem Miller, was apprehended with a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and fake passports near a Donald Trump rally in Coachella, California. The Riverside County Sheriff's office arrested Miller at a security checkpoint, suspecting him of potential threat activity. However, local authorities confirmed that former President Trump was in no danger. This incident has raised security concerns as it follows previous alleged assassination attempts against Trump. Federal agencies continue their investigation.

A man identified as Vem Miller, 49, was arrested near a Donald Trump rally in Coachella, California, after being found in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun, high-capacity magazine, and multiple fake passports. The Riverside County Sheriff’s office reported that Miller was detained at a security checkpoint without incident and taken into custody on charges of possessing a loaded firearm and a high-capacity magazine. The US Secret Service confirmed that the former president was not in danger, and the rally's security was uncompromised.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco described Miller as a "lunatic" but acknowledged that determining his intentions could be challenging. Although speculation suggests a potential assassination attempt, a federal law enforcement official stated there was no indication of such a connection. Miller was released on bail, and federal agencies, including the US Attorney’s Office, Secret Service, and FBI, are continuing the investigation.

Sheriff Bianco noted inconsistencies in Miller's vehicle, including a fake license plate and disorganization within. Authorities also discovered multiple passports and driving licenses with different names inside the car. Despite previous security breaches at Trump events, this incident did not result in federal charges yet. However, federal authorities are collaborating with local law enforcement to ensure security at Trump events, especially as the presidential election approaches.
