NAHA -- A U.S. Marine Corps private has been arrested for flashing his private parts at a woman here, police said.

Malik Bashet, 26, a private first class stationed at Kadena Air Base, was arrested for indecent exposure.

The Marine denies the allegations, saying he was only urinating.

Police said that the Marine pulled his trousers down past his thighs and exposed himself to a 28-year-old woman walking through the city of Okinawa on Friday. The woman alerted the police and an officer arrived on the scene and arrested the U.S. military member.

Police said the Marine was drunk at the time of his arrest.
