yesterday afternoon, before former President Trump arrived to the rally, we made contact with an event to an individual on the inner perimeter of our operation at the rally. As you can imagine, this was a very large event in regard to previous attempts on the former president's life. This was not something that we were taking lightly. We had a very detailed plan in place on how we were going to keep not only the former president safe, but all of the participants or the attendees of the rally safe. So in general terms, I will tell you that we had a a larger outside perimeter and then an inside perimeter that was completely controlled by us, by Riverside County Sheriff's deputies, and both of them served different purposes. We did not keep residents from their homes. We did not keep people that were traveling through the area from going through if they had a legitimate reason to go through. So the outside perimeter was basically to allow people in that we thought belonged there. The inside perimeter was to make sure and to make sure people were proceeding in the right direction. The name that we have, and I'm going to put an asterisk by it, as I explain this later, but we have his name as Vem Vem Miller, M, I, L, L, E, R, and his birth date is 1026, of 1974 he approached the outside perimeter, gave all indications that he belonged there, that he was, that he had, that he was a participant that was allowed to get into VIP and to and and a press corps. And so he was allowed through that outer perimeter as he got to the inside perimeter, where deputies were conducting, obviously a more thorough evaluation of the vehicles that were coming in. There were many irregularities that popped up. The deputy noticed that the interior of the vehicle was in quite disarray. The vehicle had a an obviously fake license plate, and that prompted further investigation from our deputy into why the person was where, why the person was there, and what he was doing. During that investigation, the deputy eventually found multiple passports with multiple names, multiple driver's license with different names, the vehicle was unregistered, and the license plate was what we in law enforcement would recognize as one that is homemade and indicative of a group of individuals that claim to be sovereign citizens. And we and assuming the deputy, assumes that he was part of that identifying group, so during the investigation, obviously those identification documents were found in addition to a loaded handgun and a shotgun. Obviously, this was before the former president arrived. The person was taken into custody. He was eventually booked into jail on those charges, and eventually he was, he was released, he will, he will have to further his court case in the in the future. There is absolutely no way that any of us are going to truly know what was in his head. I can tell you that none of the other probably 50,000 people that showed up yesterday for that event brought multiple passports with different names and guns, if, if we are that politically, i. Have lost that we have lost sight of common sense and reality and reason, that we can't say that holy crap. What did he show up with all of that stuff for and loaded guns? And we're going to, and we're and I'm going to be accused of being dramatic. We have a serious, serious problem in this country, because this is common sense and reason. I I saw some of you there yesterday. You didn't have guns and fake IDs.

Unknown Speaker 5:28
I don't know. I don't know how else to explain it.

Speaker 1 5:32
I couldn't care less what political party he belongs to. I honestly, I think that's the stupidest thing in the world, that we have to label something, and we're labeling this as politics. He was a lunatic. He was in, from my perspective, in law enforcement, he was it's that group, if, in fact, it turns out that he is part of of the sovereign sovereign citizens group. They are certainly considered a far right group. I wouldn't from, in my own personal belief, I wouldn't say it's a militant group. It's just a group that doesn't believe in government and government control. They don't believe that the government and laws apply to them. So I think it's, it's fringe, one way or the other. I couldn't care less. It's, it's, it's people trying to do harm, and thank God we prevented it.
