A Secret Service agent on President Donald Trump’s protective detail was arrested in Miami for allegedly exposing himself and masturbating in public.
John Spillman, 33, committed the misdemeanor offense of “indecent exposure” at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Miami Airport & Convention Center over the weekend, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said in an arrest report obtained by the Daily Beast.
The report states that guests in the hotel’s lobby told police that Spillman “followed them” and that they saw him “masturbating next to their hotel room” late Sunday night.
The guests called hotel security, who arrived to see “the defendant with his pants lowered and masturbating on the sixth floor,” the police report states.
Police arrested Spillman at 12:06 a.m. Monday without incident.
A Secret Service spokesperson told the Daily Beast that Spillman was off duty at the time of the alleged incident. He had been assigned to work a security perimeter at Trump National Doral, the site of the PGA Cadillac Championship, which the president had attended that day.
Spillman has since been placed on leave, and the agency is conducting an internal review.
Richard Macauley, chief of the Secret Service’s uniformed division, issued a statement that read in part, “The alleged conduct is unacceptable and stands in stark contrast to the professionalism and integrity that I demand of our personnel.”
Spillman‘s bond was set at $1,000 during a Monday court appearance.
By Tuesday morning, Spillman had paid the bond and was set to be released, according to WSVN 7 News Miami.
