GREENSBURG, Kan. (AP) -- Four Fort Riley soldiers and a reserve police officer were arrested Sunday for looting cigarettes and alcohol from a store in Greensburg.

Major General Tod Bunting, the state's adjutant general, said the soldiers and reserve police officer were not part of any official detachment.

Sharon Watson, a spokeswoman for the adjutant general's office, said the five were arrested at a Dillon's supermarket. They and were being held at the Pratt County Jail without bond. She said all five were in uniform, so police allowed them to come and go freely despite a curfew in the town.

Watson said the officer was from a central Kansas community, but she was not sure which town.

In a separate incident, two people wearing Red Cross jackets who were not members of the Red Cross were arrested for looting. Watson said she did not have any additional details.
