A Nevada man who was arrested over the weekend with guns at a security checkpoint outside a Donald Trump rally in the southern California desert has filed a lawsuit accusing the sheriff of falsely characterizing his arrest as a thwarted assassination attempt for his own personal gain.

I probably did have deputies that prevented the third assassination attempt,” the Riverside County Sheriff said. Vem Miller has called that claim “ridiculous.”

Vem Miller is suing Riverside County Sheriff's Office for civil rights violations after his Coachella Trump rally arrest.
