WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The man suspected in an apparent assassination attempt targeting former President Donald Trump camped outside a golf course with food and a rifle for nearly 12 hours before a Secret Service agent confronted him and opened fire, according to court documents filed Monday.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, faces charges of possessing a firearm despite a prior felony conviction and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Additional and more serious charges are possible as the investigation continues and Justice Department prosecutors seek an indictment from a grand jury.

Something really smells about this. Like a pile of garbage sitting out in the sun.
They already knew there was an Iranian hit squad being recruited and they have an incredible lack of security.
That sheriff’s explanation was well he’s not president now so we basically provide him with a level of security that will allow someone to kill him.
But I thought the outing was a last minute decision.
So he was just lucky to have decided to wait there at that particular course on that day???
Also didn’t we hear this was a last Minute golf Trip and this guy was Waiting there from the day before.
12 hours? Even I would have questioned why!
This smells like a cover up for someone knowing Trips unpublished schedule.
So the guy is there for 12 hours, and the perimeter wasn't secured? Riiiight.
Obliterated serial number?
My, my
Looks planned.
Did he have an AK or a SKS? I’ve heard both mentioned.
Wonder which Zeeper we won’t see commenting anymore?
I’m surprised he’s alive this morning.
Us and our country are in some deep trouble, folks..............
Wait so he outside the golf course for 12 hrs and no one noticed seriously
There’s a photo of him in the police car and he’s smirking.
Like he knows his co-conspirators are working to protect him.
Felon in possession of a firearm and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Federal charges. That puts the fbi in charge of the investigation. Sorry, we can’t comment on an active investigation. Info available to the public dries up.
It was the well known sniper variant of the AK-47.
Just a lucky guess right? Right?
Post #6: my thought, too. Coverup!
” faces charges of possessing a firearm despite a prior felony conviction and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Additional and more serious charges are possible”
IF the law is actually applied I recall these two charges alone as being twenty years of prison time and $500,000 in fines that would never actually be paid.
Expect some sort of plea bargain, probably be diagnosed as some sort of crazy and sent for mental treatment, out in five years.
We have Hinkley as the example.
WHO GAVE THE AK-47 TO HIM? Check the weapon and the other gear for SS, DHS, CIA, FIB or SS employees fingerprints although they would've known to wipe it clean before handing it to him.
