The charges include possession of a firearm while a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

A detention hearing has been scheduled for Sept. 23 and arraignment is scheduled for Sept. 30.

The Secret Service spotted a rifle barrel sticking out of a fence on Sunday and agents shot Routh, who was in the bushes along the perimeter, according to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw. He is believed to have then fled in a car and was detained after being stopped on the highway.
