KINGSTON, JAMAICA
SAILORS FROM THE NAVIES OF THE UNITED STATES AND GERMANY, ON SHORE LEAVE IN A NIGHTCLUB IN KINGSTON, WERE INVOLVED IN A FIGHT THAT LEFT THREE OF THE SAILORS WOUNDED (TWO AMERICAN, ONE GERMAN) AND CAUSED SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE NIGHTCLUB. THE DISAGREEMENT ALLEGEDLY BEGAN WHEN ONE OF THE AMERICAN SAILORS TAINTED THE DRINK OF A GERMAN SAILOR WITH URINE, WHICH ONE OF THE US SAILORS HAD ENCOURAGED SEVERAL CIVILIANS IN THE NIGHTCLUB TO PRODUCE. “THAT’S JUST JIMMY FOR YOU,” SAID THE BARTENDER, BARRY GOODISON. “HIS SHIP COMES INTO PORT EVERY FEW MONTHS, AND HE’S ALWAYS TRYING TO TRICK SOMEONE INTO DRINKING PEE. ALWAYS WITH THE PEE WITH THIS GUY.”
NEITHER THE COMMANDING OFFICERS OF THE SAILORS INVOLVED FROM THE US NOR GERMANY WERE AVAILABLE FOR COMMENT.
