WASHINGTON — With all the heat the agency has taken lately, some might not want to pretend to be a Secret Service agent.
Apparently all that didn’t matter to Frederick J. Nickerson.
The Washington Post reports that Nickerson posed as a Secret Service agent and “slipped past security Saturday at the Department of Health and Human Services in Washington and was not stopped until he got to the sixth-floor suite of offices for Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, authorities said.”
The paper reports that he left the building after being confronted by employees and was arrested Tuesday for impersonating a Secret Service agent. The Post said he was being detained pending a detention hearing next week.
