Deputies assigned to former President Donald Trump's rally in California's Coachella Valley arrested a Las Vegas man Saturday at a checkpoint for allegedly having a loaded firearm, a shotgun and a high-capacity magazine.

The suspect, identified by deputies as 49-year-old Vem Miller of Las Vegas, Nevada, was pulled over in a black SUV at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive in Coachella before Trump arrived at the location for his rally, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Office.

During a news conference on Sunday, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, whose department assisted in security measures for the event, said that Miller's car had an "obviously fake license plate" that prompted the department to investigate further.

In a news release Sunday, the department said that the suspect was "illegally in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine." Bianco said Miller's vehicle was unregistered and that multiple passports and driver's licenses with different names were found inside.
