The 19-year-old was arrested inside the Las Vegas theater where the rally was taking place.

Police said Michael Sandford struck up a conversation with a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officer under the pretenses that he was seeking to get an autograph. During the conversation, police said Sandford tried to pull the officer’s service weapon from its holster. Other officers also assigned to provide security at the event were quickly able to detain Sandford and authorities said there was no further disruption to the event.

Trump is under U.S. Secret Service protection but local law enforcement often supplements them at campaign events.

It’s not clear what Sandford’s intentions were or whether he was attempting to harm Trump. The Secret Service says it has charged Sandford with violating two federal laws following the incident, including assault, and he could face up to a decade in prison if convicted.

    I’m certain that if that guy was brown/Muslim, this issue would have been on the news and Trump would be blowing out hot air about the Muslims.
