Secret Service Employee Arrested in Miami Over Hotel Indecent Exposure

The case tests the agency’s standards for conduct during high-profile event security.

Overview

  • Miami-Dade deputies arrested 33-year-old John Spillman at the DoubleTree Miami Airport & Convention Center after a Sunday night hallway incident, according to an arrest report.
  • Investigators say hotel guests reported he followed them from the lobby and was seen masturbating outside their sixth-floor room before security found him with his pants lowered.
  • The Secret Service says he was off duty during a South Florida trip for exterior screening tied to President Trump’s appearance at Trump National Doral, a role that covers checks at the outer security line.
  • The agency placed him on administrative leave pending criminal and internal investigations, and its chief called the alleged behavior unacceptable and contrary to agency standards.
  • Jail and court records show he appeared in bond court Monday, is held on a $1,000 bond, and has a May 27 hearing scheduled.
