Two federal officials told CNN that there is currently no evidence to suggest that a man arrested on weapons charges near Donald Trump’s Saturday rally in California tried to kill the former president.

In a joint statement with the FBI and Justice Department, the US Secret Service said that “former President Trump was not in any danger” during the meeting.

The man, who authorities said illegally possessed a shotgun, a loaded handgun and a high-capacity magazine, was able to gain access to an initial perimeter near the Coachella rally, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said Sunday.

When the man, identified by the sheriff as 49-year-old Vem Miller of Las Vegas, reached the second perimeter, authorities realized some “irregularities,” Bianco said. The interior of the car was in disarray, the vehicle was unregistered and had a false license plate, Bianco said.

According to Bianco, Miller was in possession of multiple driver’s licenses and passports with different names. It is unclear why Miller was in the area, according to Bianco, who said Miller claimed to be a journalist to gain access to the meeting.

Miller was taken into custody before Trump’s rally and charged with gun crimes. He was later released on $5,000 bail, according to the sheriff’s office.

CNN has repeatedly attempted to reach Miller for comment. He is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 2, according to jail records.

“The U.S. Secret Service assesses that the incident had no impact on protective operations and that former President Trump was not in any danger,” the agency’s joint statement with the FBI and Justice Department said. “While no federal arrest has been made at this time, the investigation is ongoing. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, the U.S. Secret Service and the FBI extend their gratitude to the deputies and community partners who helped ensure the safety of last night’s events.”
