An American soldier was arrested and is being held in Russia on charges of stealing, US officials confirmed Monday.
Multiple reports identified the soldier as Staff Sgt. Gordon D. Black, who was arrested May 2 in the Pacific port city of Vladivostok, near Russia’s borders with North Korea and China.
Black, 34, traveled to Russia on his own account, not official business, and had been stationed in South Korea, according to NBC News, which first reported on his detention.
