Secret Service Detains Armed Man Posing as Law Enforcement at Charlie Kirk Memorial Site
Charlie Kirk
Secret Service Arrests, Charges Armed Man
Ahead of Arizona Memorial Service
Published
An armed man posing as a law enforcement officer at Charlie Kirk‘s memorial service site was taken into federal custody Friday and charged by the state of Arizona.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety tells TMZ … 42-year-old Joshua Runkles was taken into custody and booked into the Maricopa County Jail after “exhibiting suspicious behavior” Friday afternoon at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona … the location of Sunday’s memorial service for Kirk.
The Arizona DPS and Secret Service tell TMZ the man informed Secret Service agents he was armed when they approached him, and he falsely claimed to be a member of law enforcement. Officials say he is not affiliated with law enforcement.
He was booked on a felony charge of impersonating a law enforcement officer and a misdemeanor of carrying a weapon into a prohibited place.
Unclear what the guy was doing poking around the Kirk memorial site armed to the teeth … but the Secret Service says they are investigating, along with local law enforcement.

Kirk is set to be honored Sunday by tons of important folks … including President Trump and Vice President Vance … and the incident is likely to heighten security concerns.

Rob and Michele Reiner
Son Nick’s Hotel Room Full of Blood After Murders
Published
Nick Reiner, who is under arrest for the murder of Rob and Michele Reiner, checked into a Santa Monica hotel early Sunday morning, and left a trail of blood behind … sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ.
Nick checked into The Pierside Santa Monica around 4 AM Sunday, using his credit card. His check-in came hours after he got into a heated argument with his father at Conan O’Brien‘s Christmas party.
Eyewitnesses who saw Nick check in say he seemed “tweaked out”, but there were no visible signs he had been in a violent confrontation — we’re told definitely no blood stains or cuts on his body.
The reservation was made for just a day, but Nick never formally checked out.
When the staff came into his room later Sunday morning, they found the shower “full of blood” and blood on the bed. The window in the room was covered by bed sheets.
LAPD Robbery-Homicide detectives went to the hotel Monday to gather evidence and also interview employees.
Nick was eventually tracked down and arrested around 20 miles away in Exposition Park, near downtown Los Angeles.
TMZ broke the story … sources told us Nick was acting very strange at Conan’s party … not interacting with guests, and his attire was out of place … it was a pretty ritzy event, but Nick was rolling around in a sweatshirt and seemed high on something.
The Reiner’s have had problems for years trying to help Nick kick his substance abuse problem … largely to no avail.
