Authorities in California arrested a man prior to former President Donald Trump’s rally on Saturday in the Coachella Valley, which is suspected as being a possible third assassination attempt on Trump in three months. 

The man arrested is Vem Miller, 49, from Las Vegas. He was found to be illegally in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun and a high-capacity magazine, authorities said.

“We probably stopped another assassination attempt,” Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said, according to Riverside Press-Enterprise.

Miller was arrested just before 5 p.m. local time when deputies assigned to the rally contacted the driver of a black SUV at a checkpoint. 

“This incident did not impact the safety of former President Trump or attendees of the event,” the Riverside Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
