Man Arrested Outside Donald Trump Coachella Rally In Foiled 3rd Assassination Attempt

Buy Me A Coffee

In the latest episode of “This Could Only Happen in America,” a man was arrested outside Donald Trump’s campaign rally on Saturday (October 12). According to local authorities, the arrest might have thwarted what the sheriff called a third assassination attempt. Three attempts? Someone tell these people it’s a rally, not an unskippable video ad.

The 78-year-old former president took the stage in the Coachella Valley, giving what was likely another round of greatest hits from the “I Won That Election” tour. But things got spicy when law enforcement later revealed they had stopped a man who rolled up to the rally equipped like he was preparing for a personal Mad Max reboot.

A Man, an SUV, and the Plot Twist of the Year
The Riverside County Sheriff’s department shared the juicy details. Apparently, deputies stopped a black SUV at a checkpoint near Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive (because nothing says celebration like preventing a federal crime). The driver? One Vem Miller, a 49-year-old Las Vegas resident who clearly wasn’t in town for the sunshine and palm trees.

And here’s where it gets wild: When deputies searched Miller’s vehicle, they found a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine. Pretty sure the man’s idea of a “plus-one” was way off. I mean, who packs for a rally like this? Was he expecting a secret level in Duck Hunt?

Multiple Passports, Multiple Names… Maybe Even Multiple Personalities?
Turns out, Miller wasn’t just traveling light on common sense—he also had multiple passports with multiple names tucked away in the car. This guy is either an international super-spy or got way too carried away with his “free trial” alias generator. Oh, and let’s not forget the falsified license plate. When you’re this deep in weirdness, why not go the extra mile with counterfeit tags?

Sheriff Bianco: MVP of Vague Statements
Sheriff Chad Bianco, channeling his inner Sherlock Holmes, told reporters that his deputies “probably” stopped a third assassination attempt. Probably. A solid 7/10 on the confidence scale. Might as well have added, “Eh, we’re just guessing, but it sounds cool, right?”

Meanwhile, federal agencies—including the U.S. Secret Service, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office—released a joint statement saying the incident didn’t impact Trump’s safety. “Protective operations were unaffected, and there was no danger,” the statement read, politely sidestepping the awkward reality that this guy was driving around with enough weapons to make an action hero blush.

Plot Twist: He’s Out on Bail!
Miller, clearly a fan of living life on the edge, was released on bail. Federal charges? Undecided. He’s probably back in Vegas now, buying scratch-off tickets with one of his many fake identities. As for what comes next? No one knows, because the investigation is “ongoing,” which is police-speak for We’ll get to it when we get to it.

In Case You Missed It: This Isn’t His First Rodeo
This wasn’t the first time Trump events have had some “bonus content.” Back in July, there was another attempt on the former president’s life during a Pennsylvania rally, and in September, someone was arrested near his golf course with firearms. It’s like every few months, someone decides, “Hey, let’s try that again.”
