Two people were arrested at an Ohio airport with shovels, a gun and 200 rounds of ammunition before Donald Trump’s rally in the city.

The FBI and Secret Service are now reportedly helping with the investigation into John Davison and Vicki Davison.

John Davison, 38, and Vicki Davison, 33, both of Virginia Beach, Virginia, face a string of charges including making terrorist threats, carrying a concealed weapon, inducing panic and criminal trespass.

They were both arrested behind Toledo Executive Airport in Lake Township, Ohio, which is a reliever airport for the city’s main Toledo Express Airport 22 miles away across the city.

That airport in Swanton, Ohio, was where the president was holding his latest rally.

Police were called when a witness reported seeing two people get out of a car and walking on railroad tracks.

When they were arrested police found two shovels, a Glock pistol with an extended magazine, 200 rounds of ammunition and four tourniquets.

Lake Township Police Chief told the Sentinel-Tribune newspaper that officer ha searched the pair’s rental car and found several items that were ‘suspicious in nature’ but described those as ‘odd items, but nothing illegal.’
