On May 23, the Okinawa Police arrested a 20-year-old serviceman affiliated with the U.S. military’s Kadena Base in the act of driving under the influence. He was apprehended on suspicion of violating the Road Traffic Law. The suspect reportedly denied the charge, saying that he thought he was “no longer under the influence of alcohol.” Twice the permissible level of alcohol was detected on his breath. (Abridged)
