US marine arrested for trespassing in Okinawa

Police arrested a U.S. marine on February 18 for trespassing onto a house in Ginowan City, Okinawa Prefecture.

The marine is a 22-year-old private stationed at Camp Zukeran (Camp Foster). He allegedly went up onto the roof of a house around 1 p.m. on that day.

When police went to the house after receiving a report from a passer-by, the marine smelled like alcohol and tried to run away from the spot, according to the police.

******************************************

The U.S. Forces Command in Japan on February 13 relaxed an 11p.m. to 5a.m. curfew it imposed on all military personnel following the rape of a Japanese woman by U.S. sailors in Okinawa in October.

The curfew is now imposed only on lower-ranked enlisted personnel (below E5) from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. The ban on drinking alcohol applies to all servicemen during the same period of time.
