Man at Vegas rally tried to grab officer's gun to kill Trump: Authorities

LAS VEGAS -- A British man arrested at a weekend Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas tried to grab a police officer's gun so he could kill the presidential candidate after planning an assassination for about a year, according to authorities.
U.S. Secret Service agents said Michael Steven Sandford approached a Las Vegas police officer at the campaign stop to say he wanted Trump's autograph, but that he then tried to take the weapon.
A complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Sandford, 20, with an act of violence on restricted grounds. He was denied bail during a court appearance later in the day. His court-appointed attorney said he was living out of his car and in the country illegally after overstaying a visa.
Sanford has not entered a plea.
The arrest happened relatively quietly at a campaign stop seen as peaceful compared to the mayhem at the presumptive Republican nominee's recent events in San Jose, California, and Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Gregg Donovan was among about 1,500 gathered Saturday to see Trump at the Treasure Island casino on the Las Vegas Strip. For the event, he donned the top hat and red jacket that made him recognizable in his former job as swanky Beverly Hills' official greeter for more than a decade.
Donovan said he didn't know about the charge against Sanford until he saw news reports. But he recognized him because the two had stood in line together for nine hours waiting to get into the Trump event. Sanford even held Donovan's spot in line for a bathroom break.
"I was No. 5, and he was No. 4," Donovan said.
They spoke, Donovan said, though Sanford didn't say much and seemed "strange." Donovan didn't elaborate on what made Sanford seem odd.
After waiting, they passed through metal detectors manned by Secret Service, police and casino security officials.
Federal Magistrate Judge George Foley said in court Monday that Sandford was a potential danger to the community and a flight risk. Sandford wore leg irons and appeared to tremble during the hearing.
Heather Fraley, his assigned public defender, said Sandford appeared to be competent. She said he hadn't been diagnosed with a mental illness but that he has autism and previously attempted suicide. He doesn't have a job.
Sanford's mother told court researchers that he was treated for obsessive compulsive disorder and anorexia when he was younger, and that he once ran away from a hospital in England, according to the public defender.
Fraley argued that Sandford should go to a halfway house because he didn't have a criminal history, but the judge said he should stay in detention ahead of a July 5 court date.
Agents said Sandford told them he had been in the U.S. for about a year and a half, lived in Hoboken, New Jersey, and drove to the San Bernardino, California, area before coming to Las Vegas on June 16.
Sandford told officers he was convinced he would die in the assassination attempt. He said he also reserved a ticket for a Trump rally in Phoenix, scheduled for later Saturday, as a backup plan.
The criminal complaint said Sandford was arrested after grabbing the handle of an officer's gun while trying to remove it from a holster.
Sanford told authorities that he went to the Battlefield Vegas shooting range the day before the rally and fired 20 rounds from a 9mm Glock pistol to learn how to use it. Police detectives who visited the range spoke with an employee who confirmed that he provided Sandford shooting lessons, according to the complaint signed by Secret Service Special Agent Joseph Hall.

So does your hate for republicans count ? Or do you receive special dispensation from the church of gaia ?Haters will be the first to go. Adios sucker.
Good for you for being a hypocrite .You're not even American or have a vote...
I on the other hand have done my time, married to a US Citizen and have been naturalized ..
I get to vote for Hillary.
Sorry Cliff I am not quite as astute as you , but when said individual plasters the board and every thread with the same BS it gets boring . Despite the silliness of some of your trite posts I still don't follow you , do I ?
BOOMer has been predicting this , I wonder if he is still in Alberta ?
pooor pgs, poor pgs.. :-(
Yes I've been predicting he will develop lead poisoning before this election is over.. yes.
If somebody really does kill Trump, it will be the worse than actually electing Trump. The USA is a democracy, and the people's vote will determine the future. We don't want another UK. Killing politicians because you don't agree with them isn't the way..
...unless they are elected and turn out like Hitler, or Castro.
Yeah, pgs and Eagle. :lol:
LOL I love what few guys stated:
"Killing Trump is not going to solve the problem. But I will feel better..."
"When people try to assassinate you BEFORE you even make it into office.... you know you're an azzhole."
"So sad, if only he succeeded. He would be an American hero, so close. Darn."
It would spark civil war, after they blame it on the wrong person for political narrative...
Tripp'in the Guy is Illegal. Over stayed his Visa and he's BRITISH!!! Michael Sandford..
--- wait where is Blackie. :lol:
Well it's sorta obvious, Eagle, pgs and Walter like Trump.. so they attack anyone you posts anything anti-Trump..
Loc and a few others have made sure this thread does not show up unless you're logged into the site.
It's funny they don't know what Trumps plans for Canada...
It will definitely be a miracle if they both get through this unscathed. I don't see too much love on either side! (Not that f**king politicians deserve much love) They are just legalized thieves!

Well I can't believe a British guy tried to kill trump, I honestly thought it would be a Muslim or a Hispanic.. at least after his Trumps racist comments.
Trump has been living lavishly while on the campaign trail, billing the campaign for stays in his own resort, flights on his own airline, Champaign, expensive dinners.... he has loaned 45 million to the campaign, he claims his self funded..
But all the donations that come in, go back into Trumps pockets.. what a scam, just like Trump University.. but this time he's scamming America.
Donald Trump’s Money Is A Myth – Will He Bankrupt the RNC Too?
Listen up Walter...
Pieper and Henderson: 10 reasons you can’t be a Christian and vote for Donald Trump

Trump is a Kraut, it may have something to do with sentiment toward Krauts during W.W.2.
..................................
Scary thing is.. he truly is the best candidate out of all Democrat and Republican.. because he will run the USA like a corporation and balance the budget.. beef up the military and put China in check.
...and probably invade Canada.. LOL
Go Donald from Canada!!!!
*snicker*
I'm in your head Eagle, renting out space for cheap.
LOL Trump can't even fund his own campaign.. guess he bankrupt that too.. :lol:
Why You May Bail Out Donald Trump’s Dead Broke Campaign
Don't worry the US tax payers will pay for Trumps Campaign anyhow.. he has Scammed America, just like Trump University.
Do they have Funyons in the vending machine back there?
lmao
He may be a clown, however is there any doubt he is a brilliant and successful businessman?
He also has some great points.. and doesn't flip flop like other candidates.
