Two high-ranking U.S. Secret Service agents are under investigation due allegations they drove a government car into a security barricade at the White House after drinking at a late-night party.
In a story first reported Wednesday by The Washington Post, local police and Secret Service officers were investigating the discovery of a suspicious package near the White House when the agents drove through an entrance that had been closed off.
Officers on the scene wanted to arrest the agents and put them through sobriety tests, according to the Post, but they were ordered by a supervisor to release the pair.
One of the agents has been identified as the second-ranking commander on President Barack Obama's personal security detail.
The investigation is being conducted by the Homeland Security department, which oversees the Secret Service.
