A 49-year-old Las Vegas man was arrested near former President Donald Trump’s rally in Coachella on Saturday with a loaded firearm and a high-capacity magazine, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said Sunday.

Deputies assigned to the rally contacted the driver of a black SUV at a checkpoint near the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive just before 5 p.m. Saturday, sheriff’s officials said.

They allegedly found the driver in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun and a high-capacity magazine. The driver was identified as Vem Miller, and was taken into custody and later booked at the John J. Benoit Detention Center on suspicion of possessing a loaded firearm and possessing a high-capacity magazine.

    There is incompetency with secret service, just like every job.

    The first assassination attempt they identified the shoots spot beforehand. Someone chose to go ahead anyway and not secure the location.

    The second one was a mixture of Trump’s ignorance and location. However, secret service found the guy before Trump was anywhere near.

    This one was once again caught before he got anywhere near Trump. So it sounds like secret service is doing much better.
