Original title: A US soldier in Japan was arrested for drunk driving, and his base is experiencing mass infection
According to Japanese media reports, on the 25th, the Okinawa prefectural police in Japan arrested a US soldier in Japan suspected of drunk driving. After investigation, it was found that the soldier came from the Hansen military camp where the COVID-19 mass infection was taking place.
According to reports, the arrested soldier was named Mickman and was 24 years old. In the early morning of the 25th local time, Mickman was stopped by the patrol police because he did not wear a helmet while driving his motorcycle in Naha. Subsequently, he was found to have three times the alcohol content in his body.
After being arrested, Mickman believed that he had not drunk excessively and partially denied the suspicion. Another man sitting in the back seat said that the two of them had drunk in Okinawa City.
According to reports, both of them are from the Hansen Barracks of the US Marine Corps, which recently had a collective infection with the new crown virus. As of December 23, Hansen Barracks had reported 232 Marines infected with the new crown virus.
In view of the current epidemic situation, the Okinawa prefectural government has previously requested Hansen Barracks to prohibit personnel from going out.
