OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea — Local police arrested an airman stationed here on suspicion of drunken driving and crashing into six vehicles at his apartment complex parking lot over the weekend.

A resident of the Godeok Paragon Edupore Apartment high rise in Pyeongtaek city, heading to work around 4:35 a.m. Saturday, found his car had been damaged and called police, a Pyeongtaek Police Station officer said by phone Monday.

Another five vehicles, models that included Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, showed damaged to front and rear bumpers and a crushed front hood, the officer said. He did not have an estimate of the damage.

Police found security camera footage of the unidentified airman in his late 20s going to his apartment and struggling to walk, the officer said.

South Korean officials customarily speak to the media on condition of anonymity and typically do not identify individuals suspected of crimes except in extreme cases, such as homicide.

The airman was speaking incoherently and staggering when the police arrived at his home; a breath test revealed his blood-alcohol content level was above 0.08%, according to the officer.

South Korea’s limit for drivers is 0.03%. The limit for drivers in all 50 U.S. states is 0.08%.

The airman told police he recalled crashing into other cars but was unable to provide specifics, the officer said. The airman was then handed over to U.S. Forces Korea military police.

USFK, the command responsible for the roughly 28,500 troops in the country, maintains custody of its personnel in criminal proceedings unless they are accused of serious crimes.

Seventh Air Force and 51st Fighter Wing did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment Monday.

Osan, about 30 miles south of Seoul, is about 10 miles north of Camp Humphreys, the largest U.S. military base overseas.
