<p>Michael Sandford, 20, from Dorking, Surrey, was arrested at a rally in a Las Vegas casino after going for the weapon as he asked for the presidential hopeful&#8217;s autograph on June 18.</p>
<p>Sandford, who was in America without permission, later told police he wanted to kill the presumptive Republican nominee, according to the Secret Service.</p>
<p>US Attorney Daniel Bogden said a grand jury had charged him with disrupting an official function and two firearms counts yesterday.</p>
<p>The charges could attract a sentence of up to 30 years in prison.</p>
<p>Sandford told investigators he expected to die in the attempt, which he had been planning for a year, the Las Vegas court previously heard.</p>
<p>He arrived in the city on June 17, when he went to a local shooting range where he reportedly learned how to use a gun for the first time.</p>
<p>Sandford remains in federal custody.</p>
