Washington (AFP) - Two Secret Service agents being probed for allegedly crashing a car into White House security barriers after a boozy night out drove right through a bomb investigation scene there, The Washington Post reported Friday.
As part of the latest embarrassment to the service, the officers drove right past the suspicious package, which turned out to be a book, the Post said, quoting current and former government officials.
If the driving under the influence allegation is confirmed, it would be the latest in a series of blunders to taint the agency, which provides US President Barack Obama's security team, following high-profile security breaches and a prostitution scandal.
According to the paper, two agents -- one of them a member of Obama's elite close protection detail -- crashed into the barriers on the evening of March 4.
The pair had allegedly been at a drinking party and agents at the scene had wanted to conduct a breath test to find out if they were inebriated, but were overruled by a commander who ordered the suspects home.
I've heard of being drunk with power, but this is ridiculous!

Wow, this is embarrassing. They deserve to be fired if they can't be trusted not to drink and drive, among other things.

That's bound to be an automatic termination offence. It is for most all LEOs, why not Secret Service?

Obama should fire those guys. What a couple of boneheads.

After they explain to him and Michelle why they were endangering their daughters with their reckless behavior.
