Ryan Wesley Routh, the man named as the suspect in a possible assassination attempt near Donald Trump's Florida golf club, was calm and emotionless when he was arrested Sunday.
Routh, 58 is in custody after the terrifying incident at Trump International Club almost exactly two months after a separate assassination attempt against Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The suspect was found unarmed, as a backpack, GoPro camera and AK-47 style rifle that a gunman left behind when fleeing the scene have already been located.
Martin County Sherriff William D. Snyder said Routh 'was not displaying a lot of emotions' when police arrested him.
Snyder added that the suspected shooter was 'relatively calm' and 'never asked' why he was being detained.
The car Routh was found in will be taken into FBI custody for further investigation, according to .
'I have a clear understanding from investigators that we actually do have the suspect that they're looking for in Palm Beach County,' Snyder said.
Officials said U.S. Secret Service agents spotted a rifle barrel sticking out of the bushes two holes ahead of where Trump was golfing on Sunday, prompting the agents to fire at the suspect.
The individual ran into his vehicle from the trees, but was spotted by a witness who snapped a picture of his vehicle – a black Nissan – which included the license plate.
Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw told reporters at a press conference hours after the incident that the witness was able to share the plate and later identify the suspect as the person he saw fleeing the scene.

Anyone here have a mugshot?
Oh we know he was on their radar, that is a given.
I just wonder how far he was in his transition.
RE: but was spotted by a witness who snapped a picture of his vehicle – a black Nissan – which included the license plate.
Not the cops, not the Secret Service, so a private citizen.
In a sense a vigilante. Not that she shot at the perp, but she solved the case. Herself.
What if they had just said “the suspect has left the area. Probably in some kind of vehicle.”
The perp would have totally escaped.
Like those annual stories “escaped convict is still on the loose. No clues as to his whereabouts.”
Oh you are kidding me. That is he?
A real Zelensky acolyte.
Outlaw the Democrat party NOW!!
Does he have any overseas encrypted email accounts ?
How long before he “hangs” himself?
How does anyone get this close on a trump property with an AK? It’s not like he can pit it in a backpack like an AR. And why an AK? Definitely not the vest choice for such a mission. Maybe this will get the AK and AR as poster kids for banning Sturmgewehrs.
The gravy train to Zelensky ends when Trump is elected.
THANK GOD FOR THAT CIRIZEN WHO TOOK THE PICTURE!!
.
Countdown to - we don’t know his motivations.
Good on him.
