OBAMA’S SECRET SERVICE AGENT BUSTED FOR DUI

(blackmediaSCOOP) What da…!!! Off-duty Secret Service agent Daniel L. Valencia (not pictured) was arrested for suspected drunk driving in Iowa on Saturday, where Obama was stopping on his bus trip.

40 year old Valencia was pulled over by a Decorah city police officer and later arrested after it appeared he had been drinking, said Chief Bill Nixon. No accident occurred; no one was injured.

Nixon said the agent was booked and later released. Secret Service spokesman George Ogilvie confirmed the identity of the agent and said he was off duty at the time of the incident, which will now be reviewed by the agency’s Office of Professional Responsibility.

Ogilvie said the agent remains employed, but would not comment further about his current status. Obama visited Decorah on Monday, Aug. 15, as part of his three-day, three-state Midwest bus tour.

Should Valencia be fired even though he was off duty?
