Secret Service Probes 2 Officers for Drunken Car Crash 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
The Secret Service is investigating two agents for allegedly driving
into a White House security barricade while drunk. One of the agents is
in President Obama's security detail. It is the latest in a series of
incidents that have raised questions about the Secret Service's conduct
and prompted the resignation of Director Julia Pierson last year.
Officers on duty wanted to arrest the agents and conduct sobriety tests,
but a supervisor intervened to send them home instead.
