| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The Russian Foreign Ministry representative office in Vladivostok published a post with reference to The Associated Press about the detention of an American soldier in the capital of Primorye on May 2, who is suspected of theft and assault. Army Staff Sergeant Gordon Black, 34, was scheduled to leave South Korea at the end of his deployment and return home to Fort Cavazos in Texas. But instead, he went to Russia to visit a woman he knew. According to officials, the acquaintance lived for some time in South Korea, and in the fall of 2023, she and the sergeant had a domestic dispute or quarrel. After that she left the country. The true reasons for her departure are unknown. It also turned out that infantryman Black did not inform his leadership of his intentions to travel to Russia and did not have permission to travel. Apparently he was on vacation. “D is discipline,” commented the representative office of the Russian Foreign Ministry in Vladivostok. The information is contradictory; there are no official details of the arrest. At the same time, Black is married. As IA Regnum reported, an American sergeant detained by police in Vladivostok on suspicion of theft beat a woman before the theft. At some point, he attacked his partner and began strangling and beating her. As a result, he stole 200 thousand rubles and alcohol from her. The Russian side informed the US State Department of the detention of an American serviceman in Vladivostok. The man was detained on May 2. No charges were officially announced.

Relax, your 'bad time' has just started. |
