U.S. Secret Service (USSS) officers with guns drawn arrested a couple during happy hour at a restaurant just a block from the White House on Tuesday.

Diners at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab were shocked as they witnessed the incident, including a patron named Jalen who described the scene “like something out of a movie,” according to NBC4.

“The next thing we heard was, ‘Everybody get down,'” recounted Jalen, who told the outlet that he had gone to the upscale eatery with a coworker for something to eat when suddenly they saw “Secret Service and guns drawn.”
