Recent records from North Carolina dating back a couple of decades shed light on the background of the man detained in the apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Ryan Wesley Routh, the individual in question, has a history of encounters with the law, as per reports.
In 2002, Routh was arrested after an incident where he was pulled over by police. Allegedly, he placed his hand on a firearm and proceeded to drive before barricading himself in a business establishment. This information was sourced from a Greensboro News & Record article from that year, citing police statements. Law enforcement officials confirmed this arrest on Sunday.
