Suspect faces charges after alleged bomb threat at Trump rally

A 65-year-old man was in court Monday, Sept. 30, facing multiple charges after allegedly making a bomb threat at a Trump rally in Michigan. Prosecutors said Steven William Nauta breached security at a Trump campaign rally in Walker, Michigan, during the week of Sept. 22.

He was initially denied entry at a traffic checkpoint and reportedly showed officers a bottle, claiming it contained C-4 explosives, before speeding through a security checkpoint.

Police pursued Nauta, who eventually stopped in a nearby business parking lot. He then threw bags of fertilizer from his vehicle onto the ground, apparently attempting to simulate explosives, according to the complaint .

Despite Nauta's claims, Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker confirmed that no active bomb or explosives were found in his vehicle.

Nauta now faces four felony charges , including making a false threat of terrorism and possession of bombs with unlawful intent. Kent County District Court Judge Nicholas Christensen set Nauta’s bond at $1 million.

In July, former President Donald Trump was shot in the ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a gunman opened fire from an unsecured rooftop.

Then just weeks ago, a gunman was arrested near Trump’s Florida golf course after Secret Service agents spotted a rifle barrel protruding through the golf course fence line.
