MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — An off-duty Secret Service officer was arrested Monday by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, the chief of the Secret Service Uniformed Division confirmed to Local 10 News.
John Andrew Spillman, 33, of Marble Falls, Texas, is accused of indecent exposure.
According to an arrest report, MDSO deputies responded to the DoubleTree hotel, located at 711 NW 72nd Ave., just after midnight in reference to a naked man in the hallway on one of the floors of the hotel.
When deputies arrived in the hallway, they saw Spillman masturbating, authorities said.
According to the report, Spillman was taken into custody before the victim exited her room and told deputies that she was downstairs in the hotel lobby before Spillman followed her upstairs.
She said she immediately entered her room when she got to her floor and then saw Spillman masturbating next to her room.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Secret Service confirmed to Local 10 News that Spillman is a Secret Service officer based in Washington, D.C., but he was working in Miami at the time of his arrest “as part of a detail that provided exterior security screening for an event.”
His assignment had concluded the day prior and he was off-duty at the time of his arrest, officials said.
According to the spokesperson, after his arrest, Spillman was immediately placed on administrative leave, pending the outcome of the criminal case and an internal review.
Secret Service Chief of Police Richard MacAuley released a statement to Local 10 News which read:
“We are aware of the arrest of an off-duty Secret Service officer by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office. The alleged conduct is unacceptable and stands in stark contrast to the professionalism and integrity that I demand of our personnel. This agency takes these matters with the utmost seriousness; consequently, the individual has been placed on administrative leave pending the results of this criminal matter and a complete and thorough internal investigation.”
