NAGO, Okinawa — A 21-year-old Marine assigned to Camp Schwab was taken into police custody Monday after he was found asleep on a couch in a home in Henoko, near the base, according to a spokesman for the Okinawa prefectural police in Nago.

According to the police report, a 54-year-old resident of the house found a stranger sleeping on her living room couch at about 4:25 a.m. Monday. Police were called to the home and arrested Cpl. Shawn Cody Jake at 4:50 a.m. on suspicion of trespassing.

Jake told investigators that he did not remember how he entered the home because he was drunk, the spokesman said.

Investigators suspect the Marine entered the home through an unlocked front door. There was no sign of a break-in. The case is expected to be sent to prosecutors Tuesday.

In another case over the weekend, a 22-year-old Marine assigned to Camp Foster was arrested Sunday for allegedly driving drunk after he was spotted zigzagging across several lanes of traffic near a police station.
