He has been charged with an act of violence on restricted grounds after being thwarted by officers. On top of the charges he is believed to have been living in his car while on an expired Visa, prosecutors also say he is suffering from a form of autism and has mental health issues.
Prosecutors provide their evidence said Sandford drove from California to Las Vegas in order to kill Trump. On the day of the rally he approached a police officer on the pretence he wanted an autograph from Trump. Uniformed Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officer Ameel Jacob was on the rally to assist on security issues.
Sandford then attempted to seize the sidearm officer Jacob by grabbing the holster and handler of the firearm with both hands in an attempt to remove the fire am from the holster. He was arrested on the spot and his driving licence stated he was a British citizen.
Moreover the prosecutor report also gave detailed report on how Sandford had visited the Battlefield Vegas Gun range to learn how to shoot. The battlefield personnel identified him when he was shown his driver licence and he proved that he was there for the whole day learning how to use a gun, he fired 20 rounds from a 9mm Glock pistol.
He also approached the police officer because he saw the officers holster was unlocked. However when Sandford was asked what would he have done had he not made attempt on Trump's life he said he had bought ticket for Trump's rally in Phoenix Arizona where he would try again.
The U.S. Magistrate Judge George Foley Jr. Ordered to Sandford to be held without bail as the justice found him danger to the community and a flight risk.
