Mar 13 11:50 PM US/Eastern

NAHA, Japan, March 14 (AP) - (Kyodo)—Two U.S. Marines were arrested Sunday in Okinawa, one on suspicion of drunken driving and another for allegedly obstructing official police duties, police officials said.

Both lance corporals at the U.S. Marines' Makiminato Service Area in Urasoe denied the allegations, they said.

Jamel Gary, 23, is suspected of drunken driving in Naha shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday, while Christopher Brooks, 24, in the front passenger seat of the vehicle, allegedly obstructed a police officer's attempt to conduct an alcohol test on Gary by throwing himself at the officer, according to them.

The police eventually detected 0.75 milligram of alcohol in 1 liter of Gary's breath, five times the permissible level, but he denied drinking, they said.
