The 58-year-old was spotted by the Secret Service while hewas hiding at Trump National Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, with an AK-47, a GoPro camera and other items.

Routh fled in a car after the Secret Service opened fire at him, and was later arrested in a traffic stop on I-95. Cops apprehended him about 36 miles away from the golf course in neighbouring Martin County.

Routh was seen walkingbackwards with his arms and T-shirt above his head seconds before being cuffed on Interstate 95 in West Palm Beach, Florida. “Driver, walk straight back. Keep walking,” a local law enforcement officer can be heard screaming before others ran to cuff Routh.
