The moment officers arrested a suspect in the attempted assassination of former President Trump in Florida was captured on a bodycam that officers released Monday afternoon.

Ryan Routh, 58, was arrested Sunday on northbound Interstate 95 after deputies surrounded his vehicle, Martin County Sheriff Will Snyder said during a news conference Monday.

The sheriff’s office released the footage, which shows officers ordering the driver to slowly back away, with his hands on his head, toward officers after he surrendered.

Routh is accused of lying in wait for Trump in the bushes at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, while armed with an SKS-style rifle.

Routh fled the golf course after Secret Service agents shot him when they saw the barrel of his gun through a chain-link fence a hole away, about 300 yards from where Trump was playing a round, according to authorities.

Snyder told reporters that Routh was pulled over at Palm City exit 714 on I-95 and that it took authorities about two miles to use all resources to surround the vehicle and force it to a stop.

“He was smart, he just went with the flow of traffic,” the sheriff said. “I think he thought he could get away with it.”
