A man with a shotgun, high capacity magazine and loaded handgun was arrested near Donald Trump’s rally in California on Saturday.
Law enforcement is considering the incident ‘probably a third assassination attempt’ against the former president.
Vem Miller, 49, was taken into custody after he was stopped at a checkpoint near the rally.
‘This incident did not impact the safety of former President Trump or attendees of the event,’ the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on the incident.
The Las Vegas resident was found to be in illegal possession of the firearms and ammo when his black SUV was checked on Saturday.
Miller made his $10,000 bail and was released from custody. He has a court date set for January 2.
