Summary
A US Diplomatic Security Service agent in Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s advance security team was arrested in Brussels on March 31, 2025, after becoming aggressive when Hotel Amigo staff refused to extend bar hours.
The agent allegedly fought with responding police officers before being released following US Embassy intervention.
The State Department acknowledged the incident is “being examined” amid reports of Rubio’s security detail being stretched “to a near-breaking point.”
Clearly the agent is a DUI hire
*Yoink!* Stealing that.
Pretty sure that was stolen from a Hegseth reference. Still pretty good
As someone else I saw put it. wouldn’t you need to be drunk to either deal with Rubio or after interacting with him
Put him to work on Hegseth’s detail.
Truly representing the best the US has to offer

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. How is he that much of an alcoholic, still such a poor drunk, and also simultaneously too stupid to just ask them for road beers to take with him and/or order a bottle to his hotel room? How the fuck was such a stupid motherfucker able to secure a job working for the U.S. Secretary of State?
He’s a DEI hire…a drunk entitled idiot…
DUI hire
Two sources with direct knowledge of the situation told the Washington Examiner that the agent in question was “behaving erratically” and “became irate” when hotel staff refused to reopen the bar beyond its normal hours, the US media reports.
I mean - USSS has a reputation to uphold. Of being drunken, coke-snorting fuckups.
state diplomatic security services is not secret service (USSS)
Everyone is blaming this solely on alcohol but I’m guessing based on his job title and the situation that steroids share some of the blame. People don’t typically get all aggro with (presumably sober and calm) hotel staff over last call if they’re just wasted.

I’ve done bar and club work. It may “not typically” happen, but it happens often enough to be a constant problem in the business. Maybe it’s 'roids, maybe the guy didn’t get his leg over last night, maybe he’s just an asshole and is always that way.

Maybe if they weren’t drinking all night they wouldn’t be stretched so thin, just a thought.
Whelp, I guess he’s gone to that prison in El Salvador. No way to get him back. They’d the rules.
Stupid question, what does it mean when a security detail is being stretched “to a near-breaking point” and is that what normally happens when one of your bodyguards is arrested?
As a nation I would be deeeeeeeply embarrassed.
We are, the problem is our administration is not. I am sure they see this as Brussels’s fault, not ours.
Sorry that you people have to live with this clownshow every day now, while I can just shut it out.

If your nation’s day planner is filled with one embarrassing moment after the next, do they really mean anything anymore on an individual level?
Such an embarrassment.
Ha ha!
