Alleged taxi assault in Seoul is probed

What is it with so many idiots ruining it for the rest of the soldiers in Soul? Then people complain about not getting picked up by taxi drivers! They need to have some bigger penalties for assault and brief every new Army guy that arrives in Seoul.
South Korean police said they continued their investigation Tuesday into an alleged Nov. 3 assault of an off-base taxi driver by three U.S. soldiers.

A Gangnam District policeman confirmed Tuesday at least one U.S. soldier was being questioned in connection with the incident. He was unable to confirm how many soldiers were to be questioned Tuesday afternoon.

Police have said they detained two soldiers, a 22-year-old sergeant and 27-year-old private first class, on Nov. 3, but a third suspect fled the scene. Police said one soldier is stationed at Camp Stanley and the other is stationed at Camp Humphreys.

Police said the soldiers ditched a taxi around 3 a.m. after running up about a $93 fare. Police said the driver chased the soldiers and they beat and choked him.

Full story here.

I wasn't surprised but the assault. Which is sad in it's own right. But when I saw "22 SGT and 27 PFC" I had to laugh.
