Ryan Routh allegedly spent hours staking out a Trump-owned golf course Sunday, but his concerning criminal history goes back decades and crosses the Pacific.
Former President Trump survived a second assassination attempt in just two months over the weekend after the U.S. Secret Service opened fire on an armed man near a fence as the billionaire candidate golfed in Florida. Police recovered an SKS rifle that the suspect allegedly aimed through a fence at the edge of the course.
In the years before his arrest on Sunday, suspect Ryan Wesley Routh had dozens of run-ins with the law and was outspoken on political issues, particularly the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Based on information from federal and local law enforcement, here's a timeline of the final hours of his plot. Sunday, Sept. 15 1:59 a.m.: Suspect Ryan Wesley Routh arrived in the 'vicinity,' according to court documents.
p.m.: Deputies from both the Palm Beach and Martin County sheriff's offices stopped the suspect's vehicle on Interstate 95, according to court documents. Routh was the only one inside, and when asked if he knew why he was being pulled over, he allegedly 'responded in the affirmative.' Deputies noted that the license plate on Routh's Nissan allegedly belonged to a stolen Ford truck. 2:23 p.m.: The Trump campaign issued a statement acknowledging the incident.
While you were my choice in 2106, I and the world hoped that president Trump would be different and better than the candidate, but we all were greatly disappointed, and it seems you are getting worse and devolving; are you retar---; I will be glad when you gone,' he posted on June 11, 2020. He also called on journalists, celebrities and politicians to amplify his calls for action. Routh is due back in court this month in the Trump case.
