A Secret Service member walks with his dog on the North Lawn of the White House in Washington on July 6, 2010.
He was dispatched to Cartagena from Washington, D.C. to help train inexperienced Secret Service agents. Instead, supervisor Greg Stokes seems to have taught the young agents a lesson in what not to do on assignment. Stokes, a two-decade veteran of the Secret Service, was fired from the agency after the scandal broke, forced out with a note in his file: “removed with cause.” The assistant special agent in charge of the K-9 division had spent a large amount of time on the presidential protection detail; he has 30 days to appeal the termination.
