(NewsNation) — A U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to President Donald Trump’s protective detail was arrested while off duty in Florida for alleged indecent exposure at a Miami hotel.
According to an arrest report obtained by USA Today, John Spillman, 33, was taken into custody May 3 after hotel guests reported that he followed them from the lobby to their room on the sixth floor.
The women told police they went back to their room “in fear for their lives.” One of them later looked through the door and reported seeing Spillman engaging in a lewd act in the hallway outside.

Hotel security responded and found Spillman in the hallway with his pants down, according to the report. He was then taken into custody by police.
Spillman faces a charge of indecent exposure and has been placed on administrative leave.
“We are aware of the arrest of an off‑duty Secret Service officer by the Miami‑Dade Sheriff’s Office,” Richard Macauley, chief of the Secret Service’s Uniformed Division, said in a statement to NBC6. “The alleged conduct is unacceptable and stands in stark contrast to the professionalism and integrity that I demand of our personnel.”
Spillman remained in jail on a $1,000 bond.
