In what seems like a plot twist straight out of a low-budget crime drama, the apple doesn’t fall far from the troubled tree in the case of a would-be shooter targeting former President Trump. One Routh is already in a heap of trouble, and now the feds have their sights set on his son, who has just been nabbed for some truly unsavory activities of his own.
Ryan Wesley Routh, the patriarch in this two-man wrecking crew, was caught in a rather bizarre scenario on August 15th. Secret Service agents discovered him hiding among the bushes like a nervous squirrel, armed with a rifle at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach. The former president, presumably out on the green aiming for par, had no idea he had an unwelcome admirer lurking in the foliage. Less than a week later, the drama escalated when his son, Oran Routh, was arrested in North Carolina for possessing a stash of child pornography images that would make any decent person’s stomach turn.

The FBI’s latest revelation comes on the heels of Routh Sr.’s misadventures, which were somehow “unrelated” to his son’s charged activities. However, in an ironic twist, a probe into Routh Sr.’s antics unearthed the horrifying evidence against his junior counterpart. It seems that Oran, who did little to uphold the family name, was taken into custody with a collection of grim inappropriate content on multiple devices, including a Samsung Galaxy Note. Authorities made it clear that they came for one felonious Routh and ended up snagging another, proving that talent clearly runs in the family—though it leaves a lot to be desired.
In a chilling turn of events, prosecutors laid out details of the contraband found on Oran’s electronics. They described the harrowing contents of an SD card and online chats suggesting that Oran was not merely a passive spectator in this matter. He was allegedly engaged in purchasing pictures that no one with a shred of decency would ever want to view. Charged with receipt and possession of child pornography, Oran’s reputation is now—and rightly so—tarnished beyond repair. His initial federal court appearance in North Carolina is set to take place soon, with prosecutors gearing up to insist he remains behind bars.
The icing on this travesty of a cake is the ongoing saga surrounding daddy Routh. Just days before his son was collared, Ryan was implicated in more serious wrongdoing—like obliterating the serial number of a firearm, all the while plotting what can only be described as a Hollywood-level hit job on Trump. Law enforcement subsequently located a handwritten note detailing his failed attempt to end Trump’s presidency—offering a bounty for the job to be finished off by someone else, no less. It’s almost comical how deeply entrenched the Routh family seems to be in a film noir of their own making, proving that crime does indeed run in the family.
When some say that “life imitates art,” they clearly had the Rouths in mind. It’s impossible not to draw parallels to a poorly scripted movie about dysfunctional families where poor choices lead to spectacular failures. In this case, those failures involve serious criminal activities that should leave anyone questioning not just personal responsibility, but a household that clearly has so many more issues than a Kardashian reality show. One can only hope that this cautionary tale serves as a reminder that not all familial bonds are built on love, particularly when one’s family tree has branches that seem to bend towards the dark side.
