The Las Vegas man arrested Saturday after authorities said he was found with loaded guns outside a California rally for former President Donald Trump has filed a federal lawsuit against the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, alleging officers violated his constitutional rights.
Vem Miller, 49, was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor charges: possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine.
“I probably did have deputies that prevented the third assassination attempt,” Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said during a news conference Sunday afternoon.
