The U.S. military did not notify British police after an airman stationed in England was accused of drink-driving, according to reporting on the case. The incident has raised questions about how alleged offences involving U.S. personnel are handled under arrangements governing American forces in the United Kingdom. Those agreements generally give U.S. authorities jurisdiction over service members for acts carried out in the course of official duty, while British authorities retain jurisdiction in other circumstances. Officials have not publicly detailed the allegation or explained why local police were not informed.
