The incident involving Spillman occurred at the DoubleTree by Hilton Miami Airport Convention Center on Sunday night, according to WSVN-7 News Miami, which cited an arrest report by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Earlier in the day, Trump watched from a tent near the 18th hole at his golf club as players completed the final round of the Cadillac Championship.
Spillman was part of a detail that provided exterior security screening for the event.
According to WSVN-7 News, hotel guests told investigators they were in the lobby around midnight when Spillman followed up. They later reported seeing “the defendant masturbating next to their hotel room,” the station reported.
Security personnel later found “the defendant with his pants lowered and masturbating on the sixth floor,” the report said.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment by CNBC.
Richard Macauley, chief of the U.S. Secret Service Police, in a statement sent to CNBC, said the agency was aware of the arrest of an off-duty Secret Service officer by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
“The alleged conduct is unacceptable and stands in stark contrast to the professionalism and integrity that I demand of our personnel,” Macauley said.
“This agency takes these matters with the utmost seriousness; consequently, the individual has been placed on administrative leave pending the results of this criminal matter and a complete and thorough internal investigation,” he said.
The arrest of Spillman came more than a week after Secret Service officers arrested a California man, Cole Tomas Allen, who allegedly shot an officer while forcing his way through a checkpoint at the Washington Hilton Hotel, a floor above where Trump was attending the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
That officer was not seriously injured, as his protective vest stopped the gunshot, authorities have said. Allen is charged with trying to assassinate Trump.
