OSAN AIR FORCE BASE, South Korea, May 15 (UPI) -- A U.S. Air Force officer has been charged with shaking down the owners of bars, clubs and other businesses outside a base in South Korea. First Lt. Jason Davis of the 51st Security Forces Squadron faces a long list of charges, Stars and Stripes reported Sunday. They include bribery, extortion, rape, assault, larceny, adultery and official misconduct. | That'll look real nice on his performance report. On the other hand, he's the front runner for the Democratic Senate seat from Massachusetts. |
He has been in custody at Camp Humphreys since March 1, the military newspaper said.
Davis headed a unit responsible for patrolling the neighborhood near Osan Air Force Base where off-base establishments were centered. | Security Forces: aka Sky Cops |
He allegedly demanded bribes or sexual favors from owners after threatening to post them off-limits to U.S. military personnel. "If your club is tagged 'off limits' it's like a death sentence," one owner told the newspaper Joong Ang in a story on a March 29 demonstration by angry business owners. Davis also faces charges in South Korea of keeping a firearm at an off-base residence. | Too bad LT, the next person who says "Me love you long time" will be your cell mate, Bruno. |
