**Submission Statement:**

The article gives many details about Ryan Routh’s life in North Carolina, where he worked as a roofing contractor, and provides details on his eccentric passion in recruiting personnel to fight for Ukraine, *and* to hire Afghan soldiers to serve on a police force in Haiti.

The article also mentions a 2002 incident where Routh, then 36, barricaded himself in his business during a three-hour standoff with police.
