A Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris’s protection detail was removed and taken to a hospital after exhibiting “disturbing behavior” at Joint Base Andrews prior to the Vice President departing for a trip to Wisconsin, CBS News reports.
The agent in question reportedly started to speak incoherently, said gibberish and became aggressive with a supervising Special Agent suddenly around 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday morning. The individual was restrained and handcuffed then removed from the scene while medical teams were called.
Secret Service officials say the agent did not exhibit signs of drug use or intoxication, and was being held at the hospital for testing and observation. Officials say the individual will be taken off protection details until the incident is thoroughly investigated.
