(WND)—A U.S. Secret Service agent was arrested Monday after allegedly exposing himself naked to female hotel guests and pleasuring himself in public view.
John Andrew Spillman, 33, is a Uniformed Division officer with the federal agency, and had just provided security to President Donald Trump at the weekend PGA tour at Trump’s golf course in Doral, Florida.
He was arrested shortly after midnight Monday for allegedly masturbating naked on the sixth floor of the DoubleTree hotel near Miami International Airport.
“Police allegedly caught him literally with his pants down in the act, according to the arresting affidavit,” reported Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics, as deputies with the Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Officer responded.
Crabtree reports: “A victim told police that she was in the lobby when Spillman allegedly followed her and another upstairs and immediately entered a room ‘because she was in fear for their lives.’
“‘The victim saw the defendant masturbating next to their hotel room,’ according to the arrest affidavit.”
Spillman, of Marble Falls, Texas, had his bail set at $1,000, and he has a hearing scheduled for May 27 on misdemeanor charges of indecent exposure.
He is now on administrative leave pending the outcome of his criminal case and an internal review by federal officials.
Former U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Wis., who spent years probing the Secret Service as House Oversight Committee chairman, told Crabtree the agency has a serious hiring and vetting problem as it deals with a lack of manpower.
“There’s a lot of good, heroic people there, but they were advertising [for agents and officers] on pizza boxes in the Washington, DC area – come join the Secret Service.”
“And I’ve met some of those [who responded to the] pizza box-ads, and suddenly they’re in the White House with a gun guarding the president. It’s that bad.”
