NBC’s Michael Isikoff and Jim Miklaszewski report that the dispute with a Colombian prostitute that set off the Secret Service scandal took place because the woman wanted to be paid full price by the two agents she serviced:

The controversy arose after one of the women went back to a hotel room with two agents. The woman wanted to be paid for serving both agents, the source who has been briefed on the probe told NBC News. Instead, the agents would only agree to split her price, prompting the woman to complain to local police who were stationed in the lobby of the Caribe Hotel, the source said.
