Secret Service Trainee Arrested, Accused of Spying on Roommate in Brunswick
Police said the trainee secretly filmed his suitemate with a hidden camera and sent texts suggesting he was being watched.
- On Wednesday, Secret Service trainee Joel Lara Canvasser was arrested in Glynco, Georgia, on felony eavesdropping charges for allegedly using a hidden camera to spy on his suitemate at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.
- Suitemate Cade discovered the spying device after noticing an 'unusual glint' and realized it was a camera, while Canvasser allegedly targeted him with weeks-long harassing text messages designed to mimic a stalking stranger.
- Cade realized he was being watched from another device after receiving a message while using the bathroom, and the report states Canvasser's device automatically connected to his personal WiFi after Cade reset his phone.
- Calling the charges 'deeply troubling,' Secret Service Deputy Director Matthew Quinn noted the agency revoked Canvasser's security clearance; Canvasser was released on an $8,458 bond.
- The Secret Service has faced intense scrutiny since an assassination attempt on Donald Trump two years ago, and this incident marks another challenge for the agency.
