Vem Miller, 49, of Las Vegas, told authorities he was a journalist with access to the VIP area of Trump's Coachella rally. An investigation revealed he was driving in an unregistered vehicle with a "homemade" license plate and was armed with several firearms and boxes of ammunition.

Vem Miller, a Las Vegas resident, was charged with possession of a loaded firearm and high-capacity magazine ahead of Trump's rally Saturday.

The suspect who was arrested after authorities apprehended him on his way into the Coachella rally for former President Donald Trump is setting the record straight and working to clear his name.
