YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan – The spouse of the Navy officer serving a three-year prison sentence in Japan met with President Joe Biden on Tuesday in a chance meeting at the Capitol following his State of the Union address, according to a family spokesman.

Brittany Alkonis, wife of Lt. Ridge Alkonis, reportedly spoke with Biden and left feeling “very positive about the meeting,” family spokesman Jonathan Franks said by text Wednesday to Stars and Stripes in Japan. He declined to elaborate further on the encounter.
