Two senior Secret Service agents are under investigation for allegedly drunkenly driving a government vehicle and crashing it into a White House barricade.

The Post reports that the two agents—one of whom is a “top member of the president’s protective detail”—allegedly drove a government-owned car into White House security barricades after a late night of hard partying on March 4.

According to an agency official, the incident happened at about 10:30 p.m. near 15th Street NW and Freedom Plaza after reports of a suspicious package. While D.C. police and Secret Service officers were trying to clear the scene after the investigation of the suspicious package, the two agents in question allegedly ran through security tape before hitting the barricades by the White House compound. Witnesses say “the car’s overhead flashing lights had been activated and both agents were showing their badges to get through the section of the grounds that had been closed off.”

The two officers were not arrested, but a supervisor on duty ordered the officers to be let go and head on home, the Post reports. Right now, the officers aren’t on administrative leave, but “moved to ‘non-supervisory, non-operational assignments.'”

The incident is one of the first big tests for the Secret Service’s new director, Joseph Clancy, who was appointed by President Barack Obama after Julia Pierson resigned in October following a string of security breaches.

“Although recent steps have been made to bring new leadership in at the highest levels, this incident begs the question of whether that is enough,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), said in a joint statement. “The fact that this event involved senior-level agents is not only embarrassing but exhibits a clear lack of judgment in a potentially dangerous situation.”
