Secret Service Officer Detained Following Arrest in Miami‑Dade County
Miami-Dade County police arrested John Andrew Spillman, an off‑duty Secret Service officer from Washington, D.C., on charges of indecent exposure. The arrest occurred on May 4, 2026, after authorities in Miami seized him during a routine check at a local venue. Spillman had completed a detail in the Miami District the day before and was no longer on active duty.
The Secret Service announced that Spillman has been placed on administrative leave while the criminal case proceeds and an internal investigation is conducted. Secret Service Chief of Police Richard MacAuley said the agency takes such allegations seriously and will review the matter thoroughly.
Spillman’s arrest was made by the Miami‑Dade Sheriff’s Office, which confirmed the arrest to local media shortly after the incident. Investigators are reviewing the circumstances of the alleged offense.
The case remains pending in court, and no further actions have been taken by either agency at this time. The authorities have not released additional details regarding the specific event related to the alleged conduct.
