Two U.S. Secret Service employees in South Korea to prepare for U.S. President Joe Biden's visit have been sent home after being involved in a confrontation with locals that led to a police investigation.
An agent and an armed physical security specialist were involved in the alcohol-fueled incident that included a heated argument with a taxi driver and led to local law enforcement filing a police report, according to a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to comment publicly. Other witnesses also lodged complaints about the federal law enforcement officers' behavior,
"The Secret Service is aware of an off-duty incident involving two employees which may constitute potential policy violations," spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said. He added that the incident had "no impact" to the president's trip.
