OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea — An Air Force police officer stationed at Osan Air Base was arrested Friday morning after allegedly leaving base with a loaded handgun.

The incident sent local police rushing to set up armed roadblocks in the area, according to South Korean news reports.

A spokeswoman for Osan’s 51st Fighter Wing, 1st Lt. Malinda C. Singleton, would not give the airman’s name Friday, saying the matter was “under investigation.”

No one was injured as result of the incident, she said.

Singleton said the airman first class was assigned to the wing’s police unit, the 51st Security Forces Squadron.
