Two Secret Service agents were removed from President Barack Obama's detail due to an alleged sexual misconduct.

According to Washington Post, one of the agents tried to force hotel staff to get access to a woman's room in Hay-Adams hotel in Washington after forgetting a bullet from his service weapon he accidentally left behind in May.

The agent's name is Ignacio Zamora Jr., who oversaw about two dozen agents in the "Secret Service's most elite assignment", the President's security detail.

Zamora reportedly met a woman at hotel's bar before both slept together in woman's room. Zamora tried to reenter the woman's room after he realized he forgot one bullet but she didn't let him in.

After the unreported incident prompted senior officials attention, the agency found that Zamora and Timothy Barraclough, another supervisor, had sent sexually suggestive emails to a female subordinate, Washington Post reported.

Zamora was removed of his position while officials moved Barraclough off the detail to a different section of the division.

The scandal echoes one of the most damaging incident in the Secret Service's history, in which some agents got involved with prostitutes taking them back to their rooms in a hotel in Cartagena, Colombia, after a night of heavy drinking while on service in April 2012.
