美国空军未能根据数十年来的正式协议将驻英空军人员克里斯托弗·穆蒂的酒驾指控通知英国警方。1根据自1950年代以来生效的协议，英国警方应对驻英美军人员涉嫌违法行为拥有调查的主要责任。1
穆蒂在2023年3月于萨福克郡纽马克特首次酒驾，美国空军以军事法庭处理此案而非移交英国警方，判处他20天苦役劳动和降级。1一年后的2024年3月31日凌晨4时20分，穆蒂在伯里圣埃德蒙兹再次酒驾被英国警方逮捕。1同年8月，穆蒂在伊普斯维奇地方法院认罪，被禁驾一年并处以共871英镑的罚款和其他处罚。1萨福克郡警方表示，他们未曾收到2023年3月关于美国空军人员酒驾事件的通知。1
此案引发了对驻英美军人员犯罪未被报告给英国警方数量的质疑。1英国政府和警察主管部门在夏季启动了高级调查，以查证驻英美军人员是否得到正当对待。1
The United States Air Force did not inform British police of a drink-driving allegation against an airman stationed in England, breaching a formal agreement established since the 1950s that grants UK law enforcement primary responsibility for investigating alleged crimes by American military personnel based in the country.1 Christopher Mowty was involved in a drink-driving incident in March 2023 in Newmarket, Suffolk, which the US military handled through court-martial proceedings rather than reporting to British authorities.1 American military courts sentenced Mowty to 20 days of hard labor and reduced his rank following that incident.1
Approximately one year later, on March 31, 2024, at 4:20 a.m., Mowty was arrested by UK police for another drink-driving offense in Bury St Edmunds.1 In August 2024, he pleaded guilty at Ipswich Magistrates' Court and received a one-year driving ban, fines, and penalties totaling 871 British pounds.1 Suffolk Police confirmed they had not received notification of the March 2023 drink-driving incident involving US Air Force personnel.1
The case has raised questions about how many crimes committed by American military personnel stationed in the UK have gone unreported to British police.1 During summer 2024, the UK government and police leadership launched a senior-level investigation to determine whether American service members based in Britain were receiving appropriate treatment under the law.1
