According to law enforcement a man identified as William Rose in the crowd at President Trump’s speech to the National Rifle Association in Indiana was arrested Friday after throwing a cell phone at the stage as the president approached the lectern, sources told Fox News.

The sources added that Rose was intoxicated at the event.

In a statement to Fox News, the Secret Service said: “At approximately 12:30 p.m. (ET) today, President Trump was at an event in Indianapolis, IN. As the President was walking onto the stage, but prior to his remarks, a cell phone from the crowd landed on the opposite side of the stage. An individual was removed from the event and the investigation is continuing.”

The Secret Service is still investigating whether Rose posed any threat toward President Trump.

According to statement provided by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, saying that they “assisted the US Secret Service today in an ongoing investigation. William Rose, a subject in the investigation, was transported to receive a mental health evaluation.”
