Information is continuing to emerge about the would-be assassin who attempted to murder President Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday.
Authorities arrested 58-year-old Ryan Routh for attempting to shoot Trump as he played golf in Palm Beach.
Routh, a Democrat donor with a long criminal history, hid in shrubbery with an AK-47-style rifle hundreds of yards away from the 45th president.
He was stopped by a Secret Service agent who spotted Routh aiming his weapon at Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach.
Routh has a lengthy arrest record in Guilford County, North Carolina, where he was once a resident of Greensboro.
His arrest record in Guilford County spans between the 1980s and 2010.
The charges range from writing multiple bad checks to felony firearm possession, possession of a stolen vehicle, and multiple counts of possession of a weapon of mass destruction in 2002.
Specifically, he was charged over a weapon described as a “binary explosive with a 10-in[ch] detonation cord and a blasting cap.”
A neighbor, who said she had known Routh for about 18 years, spoke to reporters about the gunman and his family.
He moved to Hawaii and left his Greensboro home empty at least a year
