A man armed with guns and fake passes were arrested on Saturday outside Donald Trump‘s Coachella rally site at the last minute, reports said citing the local sheriff. The suspect was caught about a mile from the rally venue with a phony-entry pass, according to police. He was also carrying a loaded shotgun, handgun and high capacity magazine. “We probably stopped another assassination attempt,” Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said, as quoted by New York Post.
The suspect has been identified as Vem Miller who was carrying a fake press card and entry pass. He is believed to be a member of a rightwing anti-government organization and was plotting to kill Trump, the Sheriff said. “They were different enough to cause the deputies alarm,” Bianco said.
Miller is believed to be a member of a rightwing anti-government organization. A 49-year-old resident of Las Vegas, Miller was arrested at a checkpoint driving a black SUV. There have been two attempts on Trump’s life and at the Coachella rally, Trump was speaking from behind the bulletproof glass.
