Michael Sandford, 20, is due to face trial in Nevada on August 22. She said a British consular official who had visited her son in prison had reported that he was shackled and handcuffed. Chahal said she was working to provide the public defenders' office in Nevada with independent evidence of Michael Sandford's mental illness. Michael Sandford was arrested after an incident at a Trump rally at the Treasure Island hotel in Las Vegas on June 18, and later told an investigator he wanted to kill the Republican presidential candidate, according to US court papers. A British man detained in the United States for allegedly trying to wrestle a gun from a police officer at a Donald Trump rally is suffering from severe mental illness and risks dying in prison, his mother said on Tuesday.
