Secret Service Officer Arrested in Property Destruction Case

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/secret-service-officer-arrested-washington-d-c-police-n339411

A U.S. Secret Service officer was arrested by Washington D.C. police on Friday and will be charged with destruction of property, a misdemeanor, the Secret Service and a law enforcement source said.

The arrested officer, who was a uniformed division officer assigned to the Foreign Missions branch, was placed on administrative leave and the unidentified officer's security clearance had been suspended, according to Brian Leary, a Secret Service spokesman.

The officer was off duty at the time of the incident. Leary did not elaborate on the allegations.

The arrest is the most recent in a string of embarrassing incidents for the Secret Service lately. On Thursday a senior supervisor was placed on leave after he was accused of making unwanted sexual advances to a female coworker late last month.


is going on over there? Can we trust these drunken frat boy Keystone Kops to protect Obama?

This idiot was off duty and made a bad decision that's being handled appropriately. It also says he's with the uniform division. Those guys for the most part work barricades and work magnetometer screening.
