1 minute read

A secret service officer has been arrested in Washington, D.C. and charged with destruction of property.

The man, who works in the Foreign Missions Branch, has not yet been publicly named, Reuters reports. He has been placed on administrative leave, and his security clearance has been suspended.

The arrest is the latest of many embarrassments for the Secret Service, from allowing someone breach the entrance to the White House to two agents crashing a car into a security barrier.
