Capitol Police spokeswoman Kimberly Schneider said the officer is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal charges. Schneider said the agency will also conduct an investigation.
Why is it than when one of the "only ones" gets caught breaking the law, it's always "paid" leave.

My first question is, how did this "only one" get into the house in the first place? I can understand, if you're drunk enough, going TO the wrong house (after all, in that state, don't they all look alike?). But to get in? Was it unlocked? (If so, shame on the homeowner). Did this "only one" have some sort of universal "only one" passkey? Or did he B & E? If it's the last one, he should be under arrest anyway. HHHmmmm. . . .

Don't be surprised if it is suddenly discovered that all the tags have been removed from the lady's pillows and mattress and she is arrested for this serious infraction of the law and her testimony will be discredited as the words of a serious felon who would say anything to cast blame on others.
At which point, I would expect the defense to move for dismissal the prosecution to agree and the drunk cop will be returned to duty with a clean record.
Sounds really idiotic to say something like that, doesn't it? Until we look at past experience.

Arlington police say a U.S. Capitol Police officer was arrested when a woman came home to find the stranger passed out drunk in her bed. Police said the 34-year-old man was still sleeping when officers arrived at 1 a.m. Sunday. [More]Right. And this...this "Only One" is deemed more fit to carry a gun in the nation's capitol than you or I. It does explain why they don't want them in our homes, doesn't it? And all that Goldilocks gun control...?
Tell me, had it been you or I committing such an inexcusable offense, what are the chances the papers would protect our names and refer only to "a citizen"?
