A man who allegedly attempted to assassinate former U.S. President Donald Trump is now facing two federal gun charges in Florida, according to documents released Monday.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, faces charges of possessing a firearm as a felon and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number. He was arrested on Sunday after a Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel protruding from a fence at Trump International Golf Club in South Florida and confronted him.
At the time, Routh was positioned 270 to 450 meters away from Trump, who was moving between holes five and six on the course with a donor when gunshots went off. Trump was unharmed.
At a news conference on Monday, Ronald Rowe, the acting Secret Service director, told reporters that the man "did not have Trump in his sightline," and did not fire or get off any shots at the agents.
Court records indicate that the suspect's cellphone was near the golf course for nearly 12 hours leading up to the incident.
