In a separate gaggle with the press, Martin County Sheriff William Snyder described the suspect as having a "calm" demeanor after being apprehended by law enforcement.
“The suspect's demeanor, I would describe as having a relatively calm, flat, affect. He was not displaying a lot of emotions. Never asked what this is about. He was not armed when we took him out of the car," Snyder told reporters.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, has been identified as the suspect who was arrested after allegedly pointing an AK-47 assault rifle at former President Trump while he golfed, according to law enforcement sources.
