Bodycam video shows Florida deputies cuff man in apparent Trump assassination attempt

Newly released, deputy-worn body camera footage shows the end of the traffic stop in which Ryan Wesley Routh, the man who the FBI said planned to assassinate former President Donald Trump at his South Florida golf club, was arrested Sunday.

The stop happened around 2:15 p.m. on Interstate-95, after Routh was shot at by a U.S. Secret Service agent at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach — as the agent spotted the barrel of a AK-47-style rifle sticking out of the bushes.

A witness reported seeing Routh flee the scene in a black Nissan SUV, according to the FBI complaint against the 58-year-old man who lives in Hawaii.

Martin County Sheriff’s deputies said the license plate attached to the Nissan belonged to a 2012 white Ford truck that had been reported stolen, according to the FBI report.

In the 35-second body camera clip released by the sheriff’s office, multiple deputies have Routh’s vehicle stopped on the side of the highway with their guns pointed at him. One deputy has a K-9 dog with him.

One of the deputies yells, “Driver, take two steps to your right!” Then, “Driver, walk straight back! Keep moving!”

Deputies then cuffed Routh, whose salmon-colored T-shirt was draped over his head like a hood.
