A member of US President Barack Obama’s security detail has been
handed over to the agency’s Office of Professional Responsibility after
cops in Miami caught the secret service officer passed out on the
sidewalk in a drunken stupor early Friday.
Officer Aaron Francis Engler of the US Secret Service was arrested in
Miami, Florida at around 7 a.m. Friday morning after local authorities
spotted him lying on the ground near an intersection with bloodshot eyes
and smelling strongly of alcohol. According to the police report, Mr. Engler seemed passed out drunk but became aggressive when officers came to check on him.

"[Engler] started arguing with me and throwing his arms around while I was conducting a pat down," the arresting officer writes in the official report. “At this point motorists traveling in the area were stopping to watch his actions.”

The
Miami Police were unaware of Engler’s affiliation with the Executive
Branch until the altercation materialized to the point where the drunken
man attempted to strike one of the officers in the face. Engler was
handcuffed on the scene and searched for identification, eventually
revealing to the cops that their subject was a member of the security
detail dispatched to follow United States presidents and visiting heads
of state.A source speaking to a local CBS affiliate says that
Engler had been dispatched to southern Florida to scour the city before
President Obama flew in Thursday afternoon. The commander-in-chief was
scheduled to attend a rally at the University of Miami and a fundraiser
at the JW Marriott Marquis. The source say Engler “got very drunk” after the president left that afternoon, even though he was assigned to work in a different city Friday morning.The
police charged Engler with disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest
without violence, both misdemeanors, and released him to members of the
Secret Service’s Miami field office who in turn recommended he meet
before the Office of Professional Responsibility.The latest
incident comes mere months after a dozen Secret Service agents were
linked to an unrelated scandal involving prostitutes in Columbia, where
they had been dispatched to conduct a routine investigation before
President Obama’s visit to that Latin American nation this summer.After
that mishap, Reuters obtained a copy of new rules for Secret Service
agents reading in part, “alcohol may only be consumed in moderate
amounts while off-duty on a TDY (temporary duty) assignment and alcohol
use is prohibited within 10 hours of reporting or duty.”
