Secret Service Officer Charged With Indecent Exposure at Miami Hotel

The case adds fresh scrutiny to Secret Service conduct near a presidential visit.

Overview

  • John Spillman, 33, was arrested Monday after deputies said he masturbated in a hallway at the DoubleTree by Hilton Miami Airport & Convention Center late Sunday.
  • An arrest affidavit says hotel guests reported he followed them from the lobby, and a woman told officers they rushed into their room because they feared for their lives.
  • Court and jail records show he was booked on a misdemeanor indecent exposure charge with bond set at $1,000 and was later released after posting bond.
  • The Secret Service says Spillman was in South Florida for exterior security screening tied to President Donald Trump’s appearance at Trump National Doral and was off duty when the incident occurred.
  • Agency chief Richard Macauley called the alleged conduct unacceptable, placed Spillman on administrative leave, and an internal probe is underway as the Miami-Dade case moves toward a May 27 court date.
