Multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News that the man detained by Florida authorities in relation to the potential assassination attempt has been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58.
Routh is believed to have ties to North Carolina and Hawaii, sources said.
Authorities are expected to file charges in the matter in the coming days, sources told ABC News.
