Riverside County Sheriff's Press Conference On Man Arrested Outside Trump Coachella Rally

Posted • October 14, 2024: On Sunday, a man was arrested outside former President Donald Trump's Saturday rally in Coachella, California, when he failed to provide proper identification. That raised a red flag. When local police officials searched his car, they found several weapons and ammunition, as the NY Post reported: A third assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump was thwarted at the last minute Saturday when local cops stopped a man armed with guns and fake passes outside his rally at Coachella Valley, the local sheriff said. 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.

The suspect, identified as Vem Miller, was intercepted by police at a checkpoint about a half-mile from the rally entrance. He was carrying a fake phony [sic] press and VIP passes. The report continued: Miller is believed to be a member of a rightwing anti-government organization, according to Bianco, and was plotting to kill Trump. He has a UCLA Masters degree, and in 2022 ran for Nevada State assembly, the newspaper reported. Miller was booked for possessing a loaded firearm and a high capacity magazine — and was released after posting $5,000 bail, police records show. However, law enforcement sources told The Post that the FBI does not believe this was an assassination attempt, and the former president’s life was never in danger.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco addressed the media just after 3:00 p.m. PST on Sunday. He explained that there were two perimeters outside the event: an inside and an outside perimeter. Past those is the actual entrance to the rally, where the Secret Service takes over screening participants. The inside perimeter, where the man was stopped, was completely controlled by the Sheriff's office. He said they believe the man's name is Vem Miller, with a birthdate of Oct. 26, 1974. That was the information he gave law enforcement, and how he was booked. (…)
