Clallam County Sheriff’s department plans to report the “inappropriate touching and inappropriate language” of two 20-year-old Marines while riding Sunday on the MV Coho, Sgt. Don Kelly said.
Kelly said he plans to report the behavior to the Bremerton-based Marines’ unit.
The two Marines, who were intoxicated, directed the behavior at female members of a North Kitsap High School choir, Kelly said.
The girls’ parents agreed not to pursue charges in lieu of contact with the Marines’ commanding officer, he added.
The Marines punishment “is sure to be far greater there than here,” Kelly said.
