U.S. Sailor Arrested in Japan for Suspicion of Drunken Driving

On June 5th Aimee Mejia was arrested on Sunday after driving the wrong way on the freeway and crashing head on into two vehicles. The driver was not injured but the other two people involved were. This caused for strict restrictions to be put on the Navy personnel, as the Japanese residents highly resent the American military personnel committing crimes. There is to be limited travel on and off base for Navy personnel as well as a drinking ban. The residents are trying to get the military bases to leave Japan completely, but both the U.S. and Japan are working on locating the Marine Corps. Base out of a densely populated area in Okinawa. The resentment of the U.S. military personnel comes after a slew of crimes committed by Americans over the last couple months.
