A U.S. Navy sailor held in Venezuela since late last month was arrested for entering "without any type of document," the country's attorney general says.

The Pentagon says the sailor had been in Venezuela on "personal travel" "This wasn't something that was authorized," a Pentagon official says.

Venezuela was rocked by protests after President Nicolas Maduro was declared the winner of a disputed July 28 election.
