Ryan Wesley Routh caught on I-95

Martin County sheriff details how they captured assassination suspect on I-95

In a press conference Monday, Martin County Sheriff William Snyder called the apprehension of Ryan Wesley Routh Sunday afternoon the “highest profile stop” in the agency’s history. Snyder gave his deputies high praise for stopping the suspect without incident.

Footage of Routh being apprehended Sunday afternoon was released Monday by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.

In the body camera footage, Routh’s hands are raised and a pink shirt is over his head as he’s taken into custody.

“I am thankful to the men and women of this sheriff’s department that put themselves in harm’s way,” said Snyder.

All of this unfolded shortly after what the FBI calls an apparent assassination attempt on former President’s Trump life. Snyder says solid communication with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office played a pivotal role in locating the suspect fast.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said Sunday that a witness was able to take a photo of the suspect’s fleeing SUV and its license plate.
