The 58-year-old man accused of pointing an AK-47 at former President Donald Trump on Sunday afternoon has a prolific arrest record that spans several decades

Ryan Wesley Routh was arrested shortly after the incident at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla. Authorities said Secret Service agents fired at him after seeing the muzzle of his AK-47 pointing through a chain-link fence one hole ahead of where Trump was playing.

Authorities are treating the episode as an apparent assassination attempt on Trump.

A background check on the name given by officials, Ryan Wesley Routh, revealed that he currently lives in Hawaii and has faced dozens of run-ins with police, stretching back to at least the 1990s.

Routh is a native of North Carolina, where his list of arrests includes simple drug possession, driving without a license, expired inspection and operating a vehicle with no insurance. In addition, the Greensboro News & Record reported in 2002 that Routh was arrested after barricading himself in his roofing company's office during a three-hour standoff that followed a traffic stop in which he put his hand on a gun before fleeing.

Routh moved to Hawaii in 2017, records show. He has since launched another construction company in Hawaii that builds simple housing structures for homeless people, according to a LinkedIn page that appears to belong to Routh.

"This does not appear to be some random guy with an AK-47 walking outside Trump's club," an official said after the Sunday afternoon incident

News of the incident broke shortly after Trump was safely escorted off of the golf course.

A Secret Service member spotted the would-be gunman while Trump was playing on the course's fifth hole. Officials say he abandoned an AK-47, a go-pro camera and two backpacks along a chain-link fence that borders the sixth hole of the course.

Routh fled in an SUV after a member of the Secret Service fired on him, but was soon arrested, according to authorities.

Trump's campaign quickly issued a statement that the 45th president was safe, with Trump following up in a message to supporters that he will "never surrender."

Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson confirmed that the Secret Service opened fire after they saw a man lift an AK-47. The suspect fled in a car, but was quickly apprehended, authorities said.

"There were gunshots in my vicinity but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!" he wrote in a message that was shared on social media.


Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!" he continued. "I will always love you for supporting me. Unity. Peace. Make America Great Again. May God bless you.

President Trump’s golf outing was a last-minute decision, sources tell CNN. This round was not on the public schedule, and the public was not informed that he would be there.

So how did this Ryan Routh individual know where Trump would be and at what time? A left-wing loonatic and Ukraine warmonger attempted to assassinate President Trump yet again. USA politics has now turned into a 'do or die' affair.

Trump is seen as a threat to democracy, but the left doesn't trust their own delusional presidential candidate to win the White House.

Where are those CNN orphans with very low IQ,I hope they don't claim that Trump staged this one too by bribing a left-wing looonatic and Ukraine warmonger to attempt his assassination.

Trump is coming back!!!

Looks like forces of darkness are on overdrive to stop Trump.

Trump or nothing

Ijinle (deep) politics...

Last minute public emotional stunt to save Donald Trump..

This will definitely win some hearts after recent disaster outing against Kamala ...

Will this be enough? Time will tell.

USA politics sef is very deep ...the more you look, the less you see.

.it is well

Kamala Harris sending mediocre assassin's back to back

The opposition to Trump (Democrats) is a version of Tinubu's style of politics in AD, AC, ACN, and APC... including attempts to undermine or eliminate a viable opposition, even to the extent of a murder attempt.

Why is US politics turning dirty?

American politics. How Trump take gather enemies like this? Wetin him do them?

Is trump the only person running for president? What about kamala? Why all these assassins only target him

I thought it was not targeted at him...well is none of our national problem. My only concern is how FG and dangote scammed us ..we thought fuel prices will come done to atleast 700 but now we are going to buy fuel permanently at 900 atleast...

A person with a rapsheet this long has no business owing a gun but then this is America the land of freedom

Lying Trump no one is after him he want to draw sympathy and afraid to lose but he will again.

Trump be looking for sympathy.

The demonic Democrats are behind this.

Trump should borrow us one assassin for Tinubu

All this film wey trump dey act. His ear looks just as perfect as it was before them "shoot" am, now this one again. Baba rest nah. Trump and his hollywood crew are in full swing

Another xtain TERRORIST

Truḿp is a psychopath is he's as useless as Kamala
Neither of them deserve that seat.
I hope a 3rd candidate will come up and become popular too to take the seat.

Why always Trump? Mtcheeew.

These idiots are just making it easier for the psycho to win.

Capon

American leaders created gun problem, let them enjoy the dividend of their investment.

Trump won't keep getting lucky forever, many will still try even if he becomes the president.
