A Las Vegas man was charged with possession of a loaded firearm and a high-capacity magazine on Saturday after deputies assigned to a rally by former President Donald Trump in southern California’s Coachella Valley stopped him at a checkpoint.
Federal law enforcement said Trump was not in danger.
The suspect, 49-year-old Vem Miller of Las Vegas, was stopped by deputies at 4:59 p.m. in a black SUV at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.
