Failed alleged Donald Trump assassin Ryan Routh has a lengthy arrest record in Guilford County, North Carolina, where he was once a resident of Greensboro. His arrest record in Guilford County spans between the 1980s and 2010, with charges ranging from writing multiple bad checks to felony firearm possession, possession of a stolen vehicle, and multiple counts of possession of a weapon of mass destruction in 2002, specifically, a “binary explosive with a 10-in detonation cord and a blasting cap.
A neighbor who said she had known Routh for about 18 years, before he moved to Hawaii and left his Greensboro home empty at least a year ago, described his family as “weird” to reporters outside her home next to Routh’s former North Carolina residence. She told reporters that she confirmed a photo of Routh, who owned a business called United Roofing in Greensboro, to law enforcement on Sunday.

Civil court records show Routh’s daughter lived with her father “full time” after Routh and his ex-wife divorced in 2003. Their son lived with Routh’s ex-wife full-time. The suspect’s ex-wife now lives with her more recent husband, according to a neighbor, who said they were neighborly and seemingly normal.
The neighbor said he saw what appeared to be police activity at their home on Sunday evening after Ryan Routh was detained following the incident at Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach.
In 2009, Routh’s ex-wife expressed concerns about the suspect’s “financial situation” and agreed to terminate child support requirements. Federal authorities charged Routh with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. More charges may come later.
Routh’s public defender did not respond to Fox News Digital.
