Five U.S. Marine Corps soldiers aged between 18 and 22 were arrested Saturday in Okinawa Prefecture over four separate incidents related to their apparently being drunk, local police said.
The first case involved an accident around 12:30 a.m. in which Lance Cpl Aaron Itsell allegedly caused damage while riding a minibike, the police said.
Around 1 a.m., the police were alerted about four U.S. Marines who reportedly left a taxi without paying the fare of some 4,800 yen.
In connection with the incident, the police said they arrested on fraud charges Pfc Andhla Genama, 20, and an 18-year-old Marine whose name has not been released because he is considered a minor in Japan, and they are searching for the two other suspects.
