Failed alleged Donald Trump assassin Ryan Routh has a lengthy arrest record inGuilford County, North Carolina,where he was once a resident of Greensboro.
Routh’s arrest record in Guilford County spans between the 1980s and 2010, and his charges range from writing multiple bad checks to felony firearm possession, possession of a stolen vehicle and multiple counts of possession of a weapon of mass destruction in 2002, specifically, a “binary explosive with a 10-in[ch] detonation cord and a blasting cap.”
A neighbor who said she had known Routh for about 18 years, before he moved to Hawaii and left his Greensboro home empty at least a year ago, described his family as “weird” to reporters outside her home next to Routh’s former North Carolina residence.
“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. 5 Kim Mungo was Routh’s North Carolina neighbor for about 18 years before he moved to Hawaii. Fox News Digital
“I told all my friends because they didn’t believe me,” Mungo added.
She told reporters that she confirmed a photo of Routh, who owned a business called United Roofing in Greensboro, to law enforcement on Sunday.
“It’s just crazy to me. He was a good guy. He was sweet,” Mungo said, adding that “his daughter was like” her daughter, and she would drive Routh’s daughter to school “sometimes,” though the two no longer talk. 5 She described his family as “weird” to reporters outside her home next to Routh’s former North Carolina residence.

She said the family never expressed any strong political views.
Other neighbors who spoke with Fox News Digital did not know Routh and were surprised that their neighbor was allegedly involved in a suspected assassination attempt.
Civil court records show Routh’s daughter lived with her father “full time” after Routh and his ex-wife divorced in 2003. Here's what we know about the assassination attempt on Trump in Florida: Former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach on Sept. 15, 2024. Trump sent out a statement to supporters soon after to report that he was “SAFE AND WELL.” The suspect identified as Ryan Routh, 58, of Hawaii was able to get within 300 to 500 yards of Trump at a chain link fence on the edge of the course, where he had an AK-47 and a GoPro camera set up, apparently to record the planned shooting. Routh has a history of supporting progressive causes online and has made 19 donations to Democratic candidates since 2019. A Secret Service agent spotted and opened fire on Routh as he put his gun through the fence. The suspect fled and was arrested on I-95 a short time later. According to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, Trump’s security detail was lighter because he isn’t a sitting president despite the previous attempt on his life in July. 5 News photographers have used the gaps in foliage at Trumps West Palm Beach golf club to take pictures of him a security gap gunman Ryan Routh exploited.
Their son lived with Routh’s ex-wife full-time.
The suspect’s ex-wife now lives with her more recent husband, according to a neighbor, who said they were neighborly and seemingly normal.
The neighbor said he saw what appeared to be police activity at their home on Sunday evening after Ryan Routh was detained following the incident atTrump International Golf Club in Palm Beach. 5 His neighbor said the Routh family never expressed any strong political views.

In 2009, Routh’s ex-wife expressed concerns about the suspect’s “financial situation” and agreed to terminate child support requirements.
Federal authorities charged Routh with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
More charges may come later.
Routh’s public defender did not respond to Fox News Digital.
