U.S. Marine breaks into Okinawa home, collapses in drunken slumber

Monday, 18 February 2008

NAGO, Okinawa -- A U.S. Marine Corps corporal was arrested Monday after he broke into a Nago home and fell asleep in a drunken slumber, police said.

Corp. Sean Jake, stationed at Camp Schwab in Nago, was arrested for trespassing.

The 21-year-old Marine denies the allegations, but his arrest comes at a time when anti-American sentiment in Okinawa is high following the arrest last weekend of another Marine accused of raping a schoolgirl.

"I don't remember a thing," police quoted Jake as saying.

Police said they received a call from a Nago woman early Monday, saying that there was "a foreign stranger sleeping in my house." Officers rushed to the scene and arrested the Marine.

They are currently questioning him about how he got into the house. He did not cause any damage. The house he was allegedly found in is close to Camp Schwab.
