Las Vegas resident stopped before entering Anaheim event, raising security concerns
Authorities arrested a 49-year-old Las Vegas man near a rally for former President Donald Trump in Anaheim, California, after discovering multiple loaded firearms in his possession. The man, identified as Vem Miller, was stopped by Riverside County deputies before he could enter the event, which continued without interruption.
Miller was charged with possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine, according to the sheriff’s office. More details regarding the charges were not immediately available.
This incident has raised security concerns as Trump draws large crowds during his 2024 presidential campaign stops.
Despite the arrest, no injuries were reported, and the rally proceeded as planned.
The arrest highlights ongoing challenges in securing political events, especially given the divisive nature of Trump’s campaign. As the 2024 election cycle intensifies, law enforcement will likely face increasing pressure to ensure the safety of both attendees and candidates at large-scale events like these.
