NAHA, Japan — Japanese police arrested two Marines on Thursday on suspicion of trespassing in a bar restaurant after business hours in Okinawa.
Police said Cpl. Andrew Jones, 23, and Lance Cpl. Christian Pons, 20, of Marine Corps Air Station Futenma were drunk when they were arrested. Both of them deny the allegation.
The two are also suspected of violating the curfew imposed on all U.S. military personnel in the prefecture following the alleged rape of a local teenager in February.
Marine public affairs officers were not immediately available for comment.
According to the investigation, the two suspects broke into the establishment in Ginowan by breaking the locked door around 12:30 a.m. Thursday near the Futenma base after the manager and others had left after closing for the day. The manager, a 61-year-old woman, later returned, saw the suspects in her bar restaurant and called the police.
The two were arrested by police officers at the site.
