Man who allegedly tried to ************ Donald Trump at Florida golf club named. Who is he?

The man accused of hiding in the bushes with an AK-47 and trying to ************ former President Donald Trump at his South Florida golf club is a former roofer whose ********* history includes barricading himself with a ******* at the company’s facility in North Carolina more than two decades ago.

Law enforcement sources told the Miami Herald on Sunday evening that the man in custody is 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh. Around 1 p.m., deputies and agents found an AK-47 with a scope as well as two backpacks and a GoPro in bushes just outside Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach.

The ********* comes months after Trump was grazed by a bullet in an ************** attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania. Routh, sources say, is facing federal charges after he was detained along Interstate 95.

What we know about the alleged attempted *********:

Ryan Routh isn’t from Florida

It doesn’t appear that Routh has ties to Florida.

According to public records, Routh is originally from North Carolina. He attended North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University where, according to his LinkedIn, he studied mechanical engineering.

Since 2018, Routh has lived in Hawaii. On the island, he opened Camp Box Honolulu, in which he used his construction experience to “build simple economical structures to help address the highest homelessness rate in the ******* States due to unparalleled gentrification,” according to his LinkedIn profile.

He’s an unaffiliated voter

Routh ******** listed an active unaffiliated voter in North Carolina, according The News & Observer, a McClatchy publication in North Carolina.
