- What Happened:<\/strong> According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office arrest report, a female guest reported that Spillman followed her and other guests from the hotel lobby up to the sixth floor.

Connection to Donald Trump<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

- Employment Status:<\/strong> The Secret Service immediately placed Spillman on administrative leave<\/strong> pending the outcome of the criminal case and a thorough internal investigation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
In an official statement, Richard Macauley, Chief of the Secret Service Uniformed Division, strongly condemned the officer’s actions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
