A U.S. service member crossed into North Korea and was believed to be in the custody of the country’s forces, a U.S. official told CBS News on Tuesday. It was the United Nations Command, which operates the Joint Security Area within the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, that first said an unidentified U.S. national had crossed the border.
The U.S. official told CBS News the troop in question was being escorted back to the United States for disciplinary reasons, but after going through airport security they somehow returned and managed to join the border tour.
Love the reaction from a witness:
“this man gives out a loud ‘ha ha ha,’ and just runs in between some buildings.” … “I thought it was a bad joke at first, but when he didn’t come back, I realized it wasn’t a joke, and then everybody reacted and things got crazy.”
Did that Teixiera moron get the pretrial release he was asking for and make a break for it?
LEEEEEEEROOOOYYYYYYYYYYY JENKINS!!!
