U.S. teens arrested in Japan
Posted in Japan on 07. Dec, 2009
A silly, stupid prank gone bad? The teens were 15 to 18 years old. Shouldn’t they know better?:
The teens, whose parents are servicemembers stationed at Yokota, were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder but have not been charged, authorities said.
Japanese police can question adult suspects for 48 hours and hold them an additional 21 days while prosecutors determine whether to file charges. Though the young Americans are considered juveniles under Japanese law, they could be charged as adults. It was unclear Saturday how long they could be held in custody.
