A British man arrested over the weekend in Las Vegas said he wanted to kill Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, court papers showed on Monday, according to media reports. Michael Steven Sandford had tried to grab a police officer’s gun during a Las Vegas rally in an attempt to shoot Trump. Sandford had said he was seeking an autograph from the candidate. “Sandford claimed he had been attempting to kill Trump for about a year but decided to act on this occasion because he finally felt confident about trying it,” the court papers said, according to CNBC. The arrested Brit has not entered a plea and will stay in custody until a hearing on July 5.
