The next big news story on everyone's mind is the recent arrest of an alleged gunman who was allegedly planning to assassinate former President Donald Trump. The police have just released footage of the dramatic moment when they apprehended the suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, on a road located about 50 miles away from Trump's golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
In the body camera footage, we see a group of sheriff's deputies surrounding Routh on a sunny Sunday afternoon. One of the deputies can be heard shouting instructions to the suspect, asking him to take two steps to his right and then proceed straight back. Routh, who is wearing black sunglasses and has a pink shirt covering his head, follows the directions and starts walking backwards.
As Routh continues to back up, two deputies approach him from behind and grab his arms, leading him towards their vehicle. The tension in the air is palpable as other deputies have their guns drawn, ready for any potential threat. In the background, a dog can be heard barking, but it is quickly restrained by its handler.
The video was released by the Martin County Sheriff's Office soon after Routh's initial court appearance on Monday morning. During his walk into the West Palm Beach federal court, Routh can be seen smiling and laughing multiple times, seemingly unfazed by the gravity of the situation. The images captured just moments before his court appearance show Routh appearing calm and collected.
