Allegations made against him by Sheriff bianco, he says victim by nothing wrong, and he claims that the allegations made against him by Sheriff bianco, he says they are completely false. Really,

Speaker 2 0:15
he should just close his mouth and not make insane allegations that are going to make him look very bad and ruin his career.

Vem Miller, the man arrested with a shotgun and a loaded handgun near the Trump rally in Coachella on Saturday, is calling out Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco for saying this during a news conference,

Speaker 3 0:34
if you're asking me, right now, I probably did have deputies that prevented the third assassination attempt.

Speaker 2 0:41
Right now, we have enough evidence to show that everything that I'm saying is true and everything they're saying is false.

Speaker 1 0:45
Miller, a Las Vegas resident, says he's a long time Trump supporter and would never hurt the former president. The sheriff has said that it's about common sense, why show up with weapons to a Trump rally?

Speaker 2 0:58
There was nothing wrong done here in terms of having guns in my trunk, two guns. And you know, this was not at the rally. This was in the parking lot of the rally,

Speaker 1 1:10
which is something Miller says he has done at several rallies in Nevada. He also claims he informed the deputies about the weapons in his vehicle as a common courtesy. The

Speaker 2 1:20
usual reaction, which is, you know, thank you very much, sir, for you know, your respectful comments. And you know, just, you know, obviously still taking the guns into the rally. Then I was told to pull over. I was told to get out of the car. I was told to turn around, handcuffed. And that's when this war deal began.

Speaker 1 1:35
Sheriff Bianco has stated Miller had IDs with different names. Was driving with a fake license plate an unregistered vehicle,

Speaker 2 1:43
these insane false accusations I was cited for absolutely none of them, in fact, going a step further, the Secret Service and the Feds did not even want to interview me. They felt that there was no meat to the bones of the story. But

Speaker 1 1:58
in an interview with our Marla, tell us, Sheriff Bianco says he has no regrets

Speaker 3 2:03
all of the red flags, the assassination attempts that have already been made on the president, and then he truly thinks he's going to show up at a rally inside perimeter with loaded weapons that he shouldn't have with all of the other things that went along with it, I'm I don't regret anything.

Speaker 1 2:27
Miller was booked on suspicion of possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high capacity magazine. Now he is scheduled to appear in court on January 2. I'll send it back to you guys in the studio. Thank you. You.
