The Secret Service told Fox News Digital it detained a man Friday inside State Farm Stadium, where Charlie Kirk’s memorial service will be held Sunday.
Arizona officials announced charges Saturday against the man the Secret Service allegedly caught carrying a gun and a knife inside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Friday.
The stadium is where Charlie Kirk’s memorial event is set to take place Sunday. Joshua Runkles was identified Saturday by the Arizona Department of Public Safety as the armed individual. He was charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer – a felony – and carrying a weapon into a prohibited place, which is a misdemeanor.
Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi previously said the man was detained « in the stadium, but it was prior to the setup of any secure perimeter.
