A Marine Captain in Okinawa was arrested after a DUI breath test by Japanese police during the early hours of a September morning. He was transferred to Military Police custody and faced action under Marine Corps regulations. His appeals concerning driving privileges had been rejected.
The Captain retained Tim Bilecki, who reviewed the case and negotiated with the Marine Corps prosecution team to keep it from becoming a criminal prosecution.
The Captain’s driving privileges remained suspended. No court-martial charges were preferred, and no further adverse administrative action was taken.
Prior results do not predict future outcomes.
