Secret Service Agent Arrested for Disorderly Intoxication in Miami Hours After Visit From President Barack Obama

A Secret Service agent was arrested for disorderly intoxication in Miami early Friday after he was found passed out on a street hours after President Barack Obama left town, police said.

Aaron Francis Engler was arrested at 7 a.m. and also faces a resisting arrest without violence charge, according to Miami Police spokeswoman Kenia Reyes.

Engler was later released to members of the Secret Service’s Miami Field Office, Reyes said. Officials at the office didn’t immediately respond to calls for comment.

According to an arrest report, an officer spotted Engler lying down on the northeast corner of Southeast 7th Street and Brickell Avenue.

When the officer approached the agent, he asked if he was ok and got no response, the report said. The officer was able to get Engler’s attention and asked him to get off the ground but he refused, the report said.

The officer helped Engler get up but he was having trouble standing. When the officer walked Engler to his patrol car, he saw the agent had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and a strong odor of alcohol coming from his breath, the report said.

    Maybe he had a good reason. Like walking in on Michelle naked or something.

    Can you blame the guy thinking he might have to take a bullet for the thing in the WH? I’d have bloodshot eyes too.

    Having a communist in the White House lowers the standards for everyone else involved in the administration.

    A misdemeanor charge for landing two punches to the cop’s head? I’m not going to try it myself, most departments have a standing rule, assault on officer has an ER visit on the way to booking.

    Looks like they found a guy to take the fall over Benghazi. If only they can link him to the State Department and Embassy security.

    I think MM came the closest. I’m honestly surprised that an SS agent, Marine One guard et al. hasn’t popped the One one. Both offer to give their lives for their country, so why not?

    ATF, SS, – I think I can safely say this administration practices trickle down corruption.

    Ladygun…I had the very same thought! Only I would have to drink more than I do now just from watching that POS on TV.

    It seems to me that he was pretty orderly until the cop bugged him…

    All these incidents w/ SS sound like the type of set-ups the russians would do. Maybe BO is weeding out decent guys (drugging them, letting them be found in compromising situations) in order to put in his own NBP squad or other corrupt and corruptible goons.

    The filthy pigs of corruption. Pork spoils from the inside out. If the guys on the edges are putrid, you know the core is rancid even beyond that.
