Drunken U.S. soldier arrested at Narita Airport

A U.S. soldier was arrested at Narita International Airport by airport police for assaulting an airline employee.

David Lee Carlson, 24, identified as a member of the U.S. Army, reportedly admitted that he committed an act of violence.

At around 6 p.m. on May 23, the captain of an ANA flight on the apron ordered him to disembark because he was molesting a female cabin attendant.

Then in front of a terminal gate, Carlson hugged and grabbed an ANA ground worker. - Akahata, May 25, 2008
