2 US Marines arrested in Okinawa for alleged hit-and-run, DUI
NAHA (Kyodo) -- Two U.S. Marine Corps members have been arrested in Okinawa Prefecture over separate alleged incidents involving a hit-and-run and a case of driving under the influence, prompting the Japanese government to call on the U.S. military on Monday to take countermeasures. Lance Corporal Ivan Garciamartinez, a 20-year-old assigned to U.S. Marine Corps Camp Hansen, was arrested Sunday after allegedly fleeing the scene of a morning collision in Naha. He is accused of leaving without aiding four members of a family, including two children, who were injured in the crash, and was apprehended later that day near the site, local police said. An alcohol level twice the legal limit was detected on the suspect's breath, according to the police. He has claimed that he helped the four, who sustained minor injuries, they said. Corporal Adrian Sanchez, 23, assigned to U.S. Marine Corps Camp Schwab, was arrested early Monday on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol in the city of Okinawa. The suspect denied the allegation, saying that he thought the alcohol was out of his system. Following the arrests, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi told a press conference in Tokyo that such cases are "regrettable" and raise concerns among the locals. The Japanese government has requested that the U.S. military in Japan take steps to prevent similar incidents and strengthen discipline among its members, he said. Okinawa Prefecture hosts the bulk of U.S. military installations in Japan, and anti-base sentiment runs deep due to aircraft noise, pollution and crimes committed by American service members.

US Marines arrested in Okinawa in traffic incidents
Police in Okinawa arrested a US Marine Monday on suspicion of drunk driving. One day earlier, a US military member was arrested in a hit-and-run case. Police identified the drunk driving suspect as Marine Corporal Adrian Xavier Sanchez, who resides at Camp Schwab. They say officers stopped Sanchez who was driving unstably in Okinawa City. An alcohol test on the corporal showed that his alcohol level was above the legal limit. The 23-year-old Sanchez reportedly told investigators that he thought he had sobered up. A 20-year-old Marine lance corporal was arrested Sunday on suspicion of involvement in a hit-and-run accident. Four people, including a 7-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl, sustained minor injuries. The lance corporal is suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol. Other recent arrests of US Marines in Okinawa include one in relation to a lewd act and one for home intrusion. Okinawa Governor Tamaki Denny told reporters on Monday that criminal cases involving US personnel will keep occurring unless US military leaders act with the understanding that people in Okinawa are constantly living in anxiety. Tamaki also said he told prefectural officials to strongly urge the US military to prevent even minor incidents.
