Law enforcement officials said Ryan Wesley Routh was detained for aiming an AK-47 at former President Donald Trump while golfing.
The former president is'safe' after surviving a second assassination attempt this year after nearly being shot in Pennsylvania.
Routh's arrest has sparked doubts about his left-wing activism and social media "do-gooder" persona.
Reports suggest former President Trump nearly evaded another assassination attempt on September 16 while at a West Palm Beach club.
Authorities said a sharpshooter with a scoped AK-47 rifle approached Trump while he was golfing as usual.
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw told the POST that the man sought to conceal along a chain-link fence 300 to 500 yards away. He said, “With a rifle and scope like that is not a long distance.”
According to reports, Secret Service agents found Ryan Wesley Routh near Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach with a gun pointed at the Republican candidate. Routh dodged agents' gunfire.
Local cops stopped him on I-95. Routh likes mechanical work and creative undertakings, according to LinkedIn. Hawaii-born Routh manages Camp Box Honolulu, a shed-building company.
