CNBC reports:

The man, 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, appeared in shackles and dark blue jail attire before magistrate Judge Ryon McCabe, NBC News reported.

He appeared unbothered and nonchalant as he sat with a public defender in the courtroom in U.S. District Court in West Palm Beach, NBC reported.

Routh was arrested Sunday after U.S. Secret Service agents opened fire near Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach while the Republican nominee was playing a round.

An agent spotted a rifle with a scope in the bushes and fired multiple shots, causing the person holding the weapon to flee the area in a black Nissan, officials said at a news conference Sunday. Routh was arrested in a neighboring county.
