Suspect in Trump assassination attempt was "nonplussed" when take into custody, sheriff says
The suspect in the apparent attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump was “nonplussed” when he was taken into custody, according to Martin County Sheriff William Snyder.
“His facial affect was relatively flat,” Snyder told CNN’s Erin Burnett. “He just sat there as calm as if he was getting ready to go to a late night church service.”
Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect, seemed alert but “never asked, ‘Well, what is this about?’” said Snyder, who was there when Routh was detained.
His relaxed demeanor contrasted with the chaos of the moment, according to the sheriff. Routh remained calm even as he was surrounded by armed deputies with K-9 units and a helicopter overhead.
