Who is Ryan Wesley Routh? The man suspected of pointing a gun at Trump at a West Palm Beach, Florida golf course has been detained after he was allegedly discovered by Secret Service.
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.
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.
