Trump pulled off stage at rally, protester says he was assaulted

RENO, N.V. (WFXB) – Donald Trump was rushed off the stage by Secret Service at a rally in Reno, Nevada Saturday and one protester says he was assaulted.

Austyn Crites is a Republican from Reno. He says he pulled out his sign and Trump supporters turned violent. The word “gun” was yelled amongst the crowd right in front of the candidate and upon a thorough search of Crites and the surrounding area, no weapon was found.

SWAT teams escorted Crites out and the rally resumed.  Crites was released within an hour, but says this incident is exactly why he isn’t voting for Trump on Tuesday.
