A Cartagena prostitute refused to leave the hotel room occupied by the U.S. Secret Service until she was paid, said U.S. Representative Peter King, who heads the House Homeland Security Committee.

Eleven U.S. Secret Service agents, working in advance of President Barack Obama’s arrival for a summit this weekend in Cartagena, Colombia, were returned to the U.S. and placed on administrative leave April 12 because of allegations of misconduct involving contact with prostitutes, according to a statement yesterday from Secret Service spokesman Paul S. Morrissey.
