Trump assassination attempt suspect arrested on camera
An attempted assassination of Trump resulted in the arrest of Ryan Routh, 58.
On Monday afternoon, a bodycam video was released showing the moment that deputies arrested a suspect in an attempted assassination of former President Trump in Florida.
On Monday, Martin County Sheriff Will Snyder announced that Ryan Routh, 58, was apprehended on northbound Interstate 95 on Sunday after deputies surrounded his vehicle.
The footage released by the sheriff's office depicts deputies instructing the driver to walk backwards with his hands on his head towards them after surrendering.
An SKS-style rifle was found in the brush at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., where Routh is accused of lying in wait for Trump.
Secret Service agents fired at Routh when they spotted the muzzle of his rifle through a chain-link fence one hole ahead of where Trump was playing a round, about 300 yards away.
Authorities arrested Routh shortly after a witness provided a photo of the suspect's vehicle.
Routh was apprehended near Palm City exit 714 on I-95, and it took authorities approximately two miles to gather all necessary resources to stop the vehicle.
"The sheriff stated, "He was smart, but he may have thought he got away with it while driving with the flow of traffic.""
