Authorities say the suspect, identified as 58-year-old Joseph Routh, was arrested after a Secret Service agent spotted him with a rifle near where Trump was playing.

Routh's attorney declined to comment after Routh appeared briefly in federal court Monday, when a judge ordered that he remain locked up after prosecutors argued that he was a flight risk. A federal magistrate set additional hearings for later this month. Routh did not fire any shots, never had Trump in his line of sight and sped away after the agent who spotted him fired in his direction, officials said. He was arrested in a neighboring county.
