Three Secret Service Agents Cut From Trip Over Drinking

Three U.S. Secret Service agents were sent home from Amsterdam this week on the eve of a visit by President Barack Obama after one of them was found passed out in front of his hotel room, an agency official said.

The three agents were drinking on March 22 and one consumed too much alcohol, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity when discussing a personnel matter. That agent was discovered in front of his room by hotel security early on the morning of March 23, the official said. Obama stayed in the same hotel while meeting with world leaders on nuclear security and Russia’s incursion into Ukraine.
