The suspect in the Sept. 15 assassination attempt against President-elect Donald Trump is facing charges in Florida connected with his activities that day.
The state obtained an arrest warrant for Ryan Routh, citing a charge of attempted felony murder, according to an announcement Wednesday by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody.
Earlier, Routh was indicted by a federal grand jury on a charge of attempted assassination, according to the Department of Justice.
On Sept. 15, police said Routh was spotted at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach aiming a gun toward a Secret Service agent who was a hole ahead of where Trump was playing.
In fleeing the scene, Routh seriously injured a 6-year-old girl, according to the news release from Moody’s office.
