The would-be assassin, Ryan Wesley Routh, was arrested Sunday after a Secret Service agent noticed him taking aim with an “AK-47 style rifle with a scope” in the bushes on the outskirts of the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Routh was detained on I-95 in Martin County while traveling north after he fled the scene.
Routh was charged with two federal gun charges: possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. He made an initial appearance at a courthouse in West Palm Beach on Monday. Routh faces additional charges at the state level, and as the investigation continues, it is expected he will face additional federal charges.
