Earlier on Fox, West Palm Beach State Attorney Dave Aronberg said Routh could face charges of “aggravated assault with a firearm against a federal law enforcement officer, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.”

The hearing lasted eight minutes:

During an eight-minute hearing, prosecutors levied two charges against him: possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.Officials said Routh could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted on the first charge, and a possible five-year sentence on the second charge.A bond hearing has been scheduled for Sept. 23, and a probable cause hearing or arraignment has been set for Sept. 30, depending on whether the government secures an indictment on the charges.

Routh spoke in court:

During the hearing, Routh gave routine information to court officials as to his work status and income. Speaking in a soft voice, he said that he was working and making around $3,000 a month, but has zero savings.Routh said that he has no real estate or assets, aside from two trucks worth about $1,000, both located in Hawaii.Routh also said that he has a 25-year-old son, whom he sometimes supports.

Fox News said Routh “was seen laughing in the courtroom.”
