From the Las Vegas Review-Journal:



The man arrested at a Donald Trump rally on the Strip over the weekend said he tried to grab a police officer’s gun so he could kill the Republican presidential candidate, according to a federal complaint filed Monday.

Michael Steven Sandford, 19, was arrested Saturday at Treasure Island and later transferred to federal custody.

He was to appear before a federal judge at 3 p.m. Monday on a charge of committing an act of violence on restricted grounds.

Sandford told a U.S. Secret Service agent he drove to Las Vegas from California in his black 2007 BMW on Thursday to kill Trump, the complaint alleges.

Sandford said he went to a Las Vegas gun range on Friday to learn how to shoot a gun and fired roughly 20 rounds from a 9mm Glock pistol, according to the complaint.
