Would-be Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh appeared briefly in federal court in West Palm Beach on Monday, where he was charged with possessing a firearm despite being a convicted felon and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
From The New York Post:
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was seen wearing dark blue prison scrubs with his hands and feet shackled ahead of his court appearance.
…
Additional charges may be filed against him as the investigation continues and prosecutors seek an indictment.
A detention hearing for Routh has been set for Sept. 23 while his arraignment will be Sept. 30.
Routh got within 300 to 500 yards of Trump at a chain link fence on the edge of his Palm Beach golf course Sunday afternoon while armed with an AK-style assault rifle, authorities say.
