Bodycam footage has emerged displaying the apprehension of Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, after he allegedly tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump on Sunday.
The Martin County Sheriff’s Workplace launched footage of the apprehension on Monday afternoon.
“Driver, take two steps to your proper,” a deputy repeatedly shouts within the 35-second clip earlier than directing Routh to “stroll straight again.”
Routh, along with his shirt and arms raised over his head, then comes into the body and slowly walks backward towards regulation enforcement. At that time, two regulation enforcement officers corral Routh and take him into custody.

A Secret Service agent, who was clearing a gap forward of the place former President Donald Trump was, noticed a “rifle barrel protruding of the fence and instantly engaged that particular person,” Bradshaw stated.
A witness advised regulation enforcement that the suspect, later recognized as Routh, was seen working out of bushes right into a black Nissan and fleeing the realm, per Bradshaw. The witness captured a picture of the plate tags, and, via plate readers, authorities discovered Routh and took him into custody in Martin County. The witness later recognized Routh as the person who fled the bushes.
Authorities recovered an “AK-47-style rifle with a scope, two backpacks which had been held on the fence that had ceramic tile in them, and a Go-Professional” from the bushes the place Routh was allegedly staking out the president.
A federal prison grievance unsealed in Florida on Monday alleges that Routh had been lurking within the space for roughly 12 hours, the Related Press reported.
“Underscoring the extent of planning concerned, Routh is believed to have been positioned on the tree line of the golf course from about 1:59 a.m. to 1:31 p.m. Sunday, in response to an FBI affidavit that cites cellphone information,” per the outlet.
