Part-time prefecture employee arrested for DUI

Okinawa City police arrested a part-time Prefectural Government employee on suspicion of DUI on Jun. 3rd.

Police say 44-year-old Morihito Maekawa was apprehended in the morning of Jun. 3rd in the Moromizato district of Okinawa City after he crashed his car into the rear of a car in front of him. An officer of the police patrol that came to investigate the accident, smelled alcohol in Maekawa’s breath.
