CHIBA (TR) – Two men, including a Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (GSDF) soldier, have been arrested for possession of illegal narcotics after a drug-fueled outing in Minamiboso ended in a frantic call to emergency services, reports Nippon News Network (Nov. 11).
The suspects have been identified as Toma Fujiwara, a 24-year-old member of the JGSDF’s Asaka Garrison, and 27-year-old Koyuta Kambara.
According to police, the pair were taken into custody after being found in possession of illicit drugs, including LSD and MDMA, on a street in Minamiboso this past October.
Authorities believe the duo had ingested LSD and subsequently suffered adverse reactions to the substances. The incident came to light after Kambara reportedly dialed emergency services himself when he and Fujiwara began feeling unwell.
Police have not disclosed whether the men have admitted to the charges.
In a statement regarding the soldier’s arrest, the GSDF Asaka Garrison said, “We will fully cooperate with the police investigation and deal with the matter strictly based on the facts.”
