A U.S. Secret Service officer was arrested in Washington, D.C. on Friday and will be charged with one misdemeanor count for destruction of property, CNN reported.

U.S. Secret Service Spokesman Brian Leary told CNN that “an off duty USSS Uniformed Division Officer assigned to Foreign Missions Branch was arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C.”

According to CNN, the officer was placed on administrative leave and had his security clearance suspended.

Earlier this week, a senior Secret Service agent was placed on administrative leave after a female agent accused him of sexually assaulting her.
