Japanese authorities said a U.S. servicemember based in the country was intoxicated when he entered a couple’s home where he was found naked after using their shower, according to local media.

Navy sailor Nathaniel Williams, 27, allegedly entered an unlocked home in Ebina City – an hours’ drive southwest of Tokyo – around 5:10 a.m. Navy officials said he is assigned to the nearby Naval Air Facility Atsugi.

One of the home’s residents, a 44-year-old man, said he discovered Williams in the bathroom after he'd heard running water. The man thought it was a family member but saw Williams emerge naked from the bathroom, Stars and Stripes reported, citing local media.
