The man arrested at the Kirk Memorial Service for impersonating a cop was one of their own!

An armed man who was detained on Friday at the memorial venue in Arizona for the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk was charged on Saturday with impersonating a law enforcement officer. 

Authorities identified the man as Joshua Runkles, 42, who was taken into custody at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., after “exhibiting suspicious behavior,” a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety said.

Runkles was initially approached by the Secret Service. He then allegedly “falsely claimed to be a member of law enforcement and stated that he was armed.” 

Later on Saturday, an executive producer for “The Charlie Kirk Show” said the man was doing advance security for a guest at the memorial service for Kirk on Saturday, and that nothing “nefarious” was involved.
