Ryan Wesley Routh’s cell phone data suggests that he may have spent a significant amount of time near the Trump International Golf Club on Sunday, as revealed in charging documents unsealed on Monday. The documents indicate that Routh's phone was in the vicinity of the area where he was later found in the bushes along the club's perimeter.
An FBI agent, in an affidavit filed in court, stated that phone records obtained from T-Mobile showed Routh's phone was present in the area from approximately 1:59 am to 1:31 pm local time on Sunday. It was during this time frame that a US Secret Service agent observed Routh with a rifle near a tree line.
Further details from the court document shed light on Routh's criminal history, which includes felony convictions in North Carolina. In 2002, he was convicted for 'possession of a weapon of mass death and destruction,' and in 2010, he faced convictions for 'multiple counts of possession of stolen goods.'
It is important to note that federal law prohibits individuals with felony convictions from possessing firearms, highlighting a potential violation in Routh's case.
