A federal judge on Monday denied Ryan Routh’s request for bail, saying he is both a flight risk and a danger to the public. U.S. Magistrate Judge Ryon M. McCabe complied with the Department of Justice’s request to hold Routh in custody, denying a $250,000 bond that would have been co-signed by his sister. 
Federal prosecutors told the judge that the Department of Justice would be seeking attempted assassination charges—to be brought via a grand jury—which carry a maximum of life imprisonment.
