Ryan Routh kept horse in house, exhibited other 'weird' behavior: neighbor

 GREENSBORO, N.C. — Failed Trump assassination attempt suspect Ryan Wesley Routh has a lengthy arrest record in Guilford 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.

"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.
