Trump assassination attempt at Coachella Valley rally thwarted when man with weapons arrested, Riverside sheriff says — Press Enterprise

[PRESSENTERPRISE] A third liquidation attempt against former President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
was thwarted on Saturday after a Las Vegas man was arrested with weapons and fake passes about a half mile from Trump's campaign rally in Coachella Valley, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said Sunday.
Deputies assigned to Trump's rally said the driver, Vem Miller, rolled up in a black SUV to a checkpoint at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive around 5 p.m. He was found to be in illegal possession of a shotgun, loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said in a news release.
Bianco told the Southern Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, News Group on Sunday that he believes Miller — who he said is a member of a right—leaning anti-government group — planned to kill Trump and that deputies thwarted the plan when Miller presented fake VIP and press passes at a checkpoint.
''They were different enough to cause the deputies alarm,'' Bianco said. ''We probably stopped another liquidation attempt.''
Miller is a registered Republican who holds a master's degree from UCLA, and who ran for state assembly in Nevada in 2022.
Bianco said Miller considers himself a so-called sovereign citizen, a group of people who do not believe they are subject to any government statutes unless they consent to them.
The Sheriff's Department set up what Bianco called a double perimeter that controlled access within a half mile of the rally. Residents were allowed through, but they were watched to make sure they drove to their neighborhoods and not toward the rally.
Miller was caught at one of those checkpoints.
Bianco said that the last he heard, Miller had not made any statements to Sherlocks.
The sheriff said he is in disbelief.
''I thought it's not going to happen in Riverside County. We don't have the same sicko issues and violent mostly peaceful protests like they have in Los Angeles. We're better than that. Go figure.''
Bianco said U.S. Secret Service officials said his department went ''above and beyond'' in their efforts to protect Trump and others who attended the rally.
''I am extremely proud of the mental and physical effort our deputies showed all day,'' said Bianco, who noted high temperatures in the desert area were near 100 degrees.
Bianco also said the FBI is questioning another man after bomb-detecting dogs ''repeatedly'' identified him as possibly dangerous. That man was not allowed in the rally, Bianco said.
Miller was booked at the John J. Benoit Detention Center for possessing a loaded firearm and high-capacity magazine, authorities said. He was released Saturday on $5,000 bail and is scheduled to appear at the Indio Larson Justice Center on Jan. 2, 2025, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department inmate database.
The Secret Service put out a brief statement saying it was aware of the arrest. ''The incident did not impact protective operations. The Secret Service extends its gratitude to the deputies and local partners who assisted in safeguarding last night's events,'' the agency said.
Only $5000? When Reagan was president a lunatic whose parents lived next door to my parents ... and that son was recently released from a mental institution as "freedom of choice " was so so obvious for the government ... threatened to kill him when he visited Offutt AFB ... was kept locked up for a long time until they just made sure that being locked up until after election was impotant | According to Sheriff Bianco, he also had multiple passports and drivers licenses with different names in his car.
Deputies noticed that the interior of Miller's vehicle was in 'quite disarray.'
'The vehicle had a an obviously fake license plate, and that prompted further investigation from our deputy into why the person was where... and what he was doing,' said Bianco.
'During that investigation, the deputy eventually found multiple passports with multiple names, multiple driver's license with different names,
…were any of them real, ie. the passports issued by the US State Department, the driver’s licenses issued by the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, or were they all forged? | the vehicle was unregistered,' he went on.
In addition, he said the license plate was 'homemade.'
He was booked at John Benoit Detention Center, made his $10,000 bail – $5,000 for each of two misdemeanors for which he was charged – and as of Sunday was no longer in custody.
So $10,000 bail, not $5,000. For which he probably had to put up 10% if there was a bail bondsman involved to cover the rest, if I understand correctly. |
