The armed man claiming to be a law enforcement officer at the site of the Charlie Kirk memorial in Arizona was identified as Joshua Runkles by authorities.
The 42-year-old was seen carrying two guns and knives when he was apprehended at State Farm Stadium in Glendale on Friday, according to a probable cause statement filed in court that was obtained by Fox News.
At around 12:15pm, an officer with the Arizona Department of Public Safety encountered Runkles, who claimed he was working with a security detail through Turning Point USA, according to the court document.
When asked to identify himself, Runkles allegedly presented a badge with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office and an Idaho law enforcement identification card.
Officers then asked Runkles if he was armed, per the documents. He said yes and was turned away at the gate by personnel who told him he'd have to contact representatives with Turning Point USA if he wanted to be let in.
