Ryan Routh, who is accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump, has a long history of arrests in Guilford County, North Carolina, that goes back to the 1980s.
Neighbors described Routh’s family as “weird,” mentioning unusual behaviors like keeping a horse inside their home, but noted he was generally a “good guy.”
“He had a horse in the house. 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. But they didn’t bother me. I didn’t bother them,” Kim Mungo said.
“I told all my friends because they didn’t believe me,” Mungo added.
“It’s just crazy to me. He was a good guy. He was sweet,” Mungo said.
His charges include writing bad checks, felony firearm possession, and multiple counts of possessing weapons of mass destruction in 2002.
Following his arrest, federal authorities charged him with possession of a firearm as a convicted felon and with an obliterated serial number, with potential additional charges pending.
