Yuma Ishigaki taken in for drunken violence

Actor Yuma Ishigaki, 26, is in trouble with the law after an incident of violence over the weekend. He was arrested for obstructing a police officer and is being prosecuted for assault. For the moment, he has been released from jail, and on Monday he held a press conference to make a public apology.

According to police reports, Ishigaki had been drinking on Friday night at his home in Setagaya with three of his male friends. They met up with two women and ate out at an izakaya in Kabukicho. They continued drinking until the restaurant closed at 5am, then paid the bill and left.

At that time, Ishigaki noticed that his wallet was missing, so he returned to the restaurant to look for it. During his search, he got into an argument with one of the shop’s employees, and Ishigaki hit him twice in the head. Police were notified and they took Ishigaki away. But upon arriving at the police station, Ishigaki continued to struggle, kicking an officer in the lips after falling down. This qualified as the crime of obstructing an officer’s performance of his duties, so the actor was immediately arrested.

Ishigaki was released on Monday. During his public apology, he admitted that he was completely drunk and didn’t remember anything. For now, he will be under self-suspension from work, while the assault incident at the restaurant is being sent to the prosecutor’s office.
