A man from Las Vegas was arrested after being found in possession of a loaded firearm and high-capacity magazine at a rally attended by former President Donald Trump in California’s Coachella Valley. The man, identified as 49-year-old Vem Miller, was stopped at a checkpoint and found to have a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and the high-capacity magazine. He was arrested and booked at a local detention center. Despite the incident, Trump’s safety and that of the event’s attendees were not compromised. Further details about Miller’s reasons for having the weapons and whether he intended to be at the rally have not been released. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact the Palm Desert Sheriff’s Station. The arrest occurred as Trump addressed a large crowd at the Calhoun Ranch, just outside Coachella. As of now, no additional information has been provided. Paris Barraza, a reporter covering California news, can be reached for further updates.
