Information is continuing to emerge about the would-be assassin who attempted to murder President Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday.
Authorities arrested 58-year-old Ryan Routh for attempting to shoot Trump as he played golf in Palm Beach.
Routh, a Democrat donor with a long criminal history, hid in shrubbery with an AK-47-style rifle hundreds of yards away from the 45th president.
He was stopped by a Secret Service agent who spotted Routh aiming his weapon at Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach.
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.
The charges range 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, he was charged over a weapon described as a “binary explosive with a 10-in[ch] detonation cord and a blasting cap.”
A neighbor, who said she had known Routh for about 18 years, spoke to reporters about the gunman and his family.
He moved to Hawaii and left his Greensboro home empty at least a year ago, the neighbor, Kim Mungo, revealed.
Mungo described Routh and his family as “weird” as she spoke to reporters outside her home next to his former North Carolina residence.
“He had a horse in the house,” Mungo said.
“I mean, a whole live horse in the house.
“But I could see the guns and stuff and all.
“They were … oh, I mean, kind of weird,” Kim Mungo said.
“But they didn’t bother me. I didn’t bother them”
“I told all my friends because they didn’t believe me,” Mungo added.
She told reporters that she confirmed a photo of Routh, who owned a business called United Roofing in Greensboro, to law enforcement on Sunday.
“It’s just crazy to me. He was a good guy. He was sweet,” Mungo said.
She added that Routh’s “daughter was like” her daughter.
Mungo said she would drive Routh’s daughter to school “sometimes,” though the two no longer speak.
WATCH:
Other neighbors who spoke with Fox News did not know Routh.
Some said they were surprised that their neighbor was allegedly involved in a suspected assassination attempt.
Civil court records show the 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 described them as seemingly normal.
The neighbor said he saw what appeared to be police activity at their home on Sunday evening after Routh was arrested.
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 at a later date.
