After being pulled over, Routh “put his hand on a firearm and drove to ******* Roofing,” according to the News & Record.

He was arrested following a three-hour standoff with law enforcement in 2002 at ******* Roofing in Greensboro, North Carolina. Routh had barricaded himself in the business after being pulled over in a traffic stop.

Routh was 36 years old at the time of the 2002 arrest, which would make him approximately 58 years old now.

Routh was charged with carrying a concealed ******* and possession of a ******* of mass destruction at the time, as well as with resisting, delaying and obstructing a law enforcement officer and driving while license revoked, according to the News & Record.

Routh’s reason for attempting to ****** and ***** the former president ******** unknown as authorities attempt to determine his motive.

The gunman “was not displaying a lot of emotions” as he was taken into custody, Martin County Sheriff William D. Snyder told local media. The person being detained was also unarmed when apprehended.

The apparent gunman was spotted near the Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach’s property line, according to the Secret Service. They saw him as the Secret Service scouted one ***** ahead of where the president was playing.

He was somewhere between 300 and 500 yards from the president.

Near the bushes where the gunman was spotted, an AK-47-style rifle with a targeting scope was retrieved, along with a GoPro camera and a backpack.

The GoPro camera was likely planned to be used by the shooter to film his actions as he shot Trump.

Routh fled in a vehicle but was ultimately taken into custody by law enforcement, approximately 45 minutes north of the golf course.

A witness had spotted the apparent gunman exiting the bushes. That witness shared a photo of the suspect’s ****** Nissan SUV, which he used to flee the scene, with law enforcement.

Routh was caught driving northbound on Interstate 95 after he crossed from Palm Beach County into Martin County.

It wasn’t initially clear if Routh was able to ***** a shot at Secret Service agents before they opened ***** on him.
