Two US Air Force members stationed at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa were arrested on November 14, 2023, accused of public indecency and drunk driving. Hunter Edrington, an airman, was apprehended for allegedly exposing himself in a plaza at a commercial facility while reportedly very intoxicated. Earlier that night, a US Air Force captain at the same base was arrested for driving under the influence.
These arrests come amid ongoing efforts to improve military discipline at Kadena Air Base following a robbery-murder case involving a US Marine in October. The incidents have reignited concerns over the behavior of American military personnel in Okinawa.
