Brussels police arrested a top security supervisor for Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s detail last week.
According to the Washington Examiner, a Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) shift supervisor was arrested at Hotel Amigo in Brussels last week after getting into a fight over the hotel bar hours.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio also stayed at Hotel Amigo last week.
The DSS reportedly got into a physical altercation with several police officers and was taken into custody. The DSS was released from custody later after the US Embassy intervened.
The Washington Examiner reported:
A Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) shift supervisor assigned to Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s protective detail was arrested by Belgian police at a Brussels hotel last Monday after arguing with hotel staff and fighting with responding police officers. Rubio stayed in that same hotel, Hotel Amigo, later that week while he attended NATO’s foreign ministers summit.
The DSS veteran, whose name the Washington Examiner is withholding, was a senior agent on the DSS advance party to Belgium. That protective advance party was responsible for securing the hotel and conducting final security preparations at the various sites in Brussels for Rubio’s visit.
