Armed Man With False Press Pass Arrested At Trump Rally

Oct 14 2024

Vem Miller, a Las Vegas resident, was arrested near a Donald Trump campaign rally in Coachella Valley, California, on Saturday after being found with guns and false press and VIP passes.

Police intercepted Miller at a checkpoint about half a mile from the rally entrance, discovering a loaded shotgun, handgun, and high-capacity magazine. Miller, believed to be part of an anti-government group, was charged with possessing a loaded firearm and a high-capacity magazine and released on $5,000 bail.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s office confirmed that the incident did not pose any threat to Trump or rally attendees.

The Secret Service and the U.S. Attorney’s office both stated that Trump was not in danger, with an ongoing investigation but no federal charges filed.

Miller, who has a master’s degree from UCLA and ran for Nevada state assembly in 2022, claimed he was a Trump supporter and had notified police of the firearms in his car for safety. Sheriff Chad Bianco speculated that Miller may have been plotting to kill Trump but noted this was unconfirmed.

Miller is scheduled for a court appearance on January 2, 2025. Meanwhile, another man was detained and questioned by the FBI after being flagged by bomb-detecting dogs.
