The alleged gunman arrested at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, has a lengthy paper trail of pro-Ukraine advocacy, according to several news reports Monday. The suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested Sunday after allegedly pushing the muzzle of an assault rifle through a chain-link fence near former President Donald Trump's golf course, where the former president was playing the fifth hole. However, this is not the first time Routh has been identified.
The question as far as why I'm here … to me, a lot of the other conflicts are grey, but this conflict is definitely black and white,' Routh told Newseek. 'This is about good versus evil. This is a storybook, you know, any movie we've ever watched, this is definitely evil against good.' Routh also claimed to have fought in the war and reportedly bragged about his involvement on his social media accounts.
background check also previously reviewed by Fox News Digital found that Routh has had repeated run-ins with law enforcement spanning decades in North Carolina. A majority of the arrests included ones for simple possession, driving without a license, driving with an expired registration, driving without insurance.
