U.S. Marine NCO arrested for attacking Okinawa police officers

Saturday, 22 March 2008

NAHA -- A U.S. Marine Corps non-commissioned officer (NCO) who attacked two police officers trying to stop him from approaching his terrified estranged wife has been arrested, police said.

Aaron Charlie Sansaricq, 26, the NCO stationed at the U.S. Marine Corps' Camp Zukeran (Camp Foster) in the central part of Okinawa Prefecture, was arrested for obstructing a public officer.

The Marine is currently exercising his right to remain silent and refuses to talk to the police.

Police said Sansaricq's estranged wife consulted with officers at a police box on Thursday, telling them she feared for her safety after her husband told her he planned to go and see her the next day.

On Friday, a 45-year-old Okinawa Prefectural Police sergeant and 28-year-old senior police officer accompanied the estranged wife at her home in Naha.

Police said Sansaricq started shouting and screaming at his wife and when the officers prepared to intervene, he threw them to the ground, causing scratches to the hands of both policemen.
