Protester attempts to jump stage at Trump rally

A protester attempted to breech the security of GOP candidate Donald Trump's stage before Secret Service was able to tackle him.

The protester, Thomas Dimassimo, 22 of Fairborn, Ohio is a local activist who protested at Wright State's campus by standing on the American flag last year.

According to initial reports, Dimassimo was able to get over the waist-high security railings and broke through two security personnel before just nearly getting on the stage.  The incident happened near the end of Trump's rally and got him around 10 feet away from the candidate.

Dimassimo was arrested for disorderly conduct and inducing panic and is currently being held in the Montgomery County Jail.
