Lt. Ridge Alkonis has been in a Japanese detention center since July 25 after a Tokyo High Court judge denied his appeal seeking to suspend a three-year prison sentence he received for negligent dr…
Family members of an American naval officer now in a Japanese prison after a car crash are doing all they can think of in hopes of getting President Joe Biden involved in lobbying for Lt. Ridge Alkonis’s release.
Alkonis, 34, was sentenced in October; the judge saying he had not traveled high enough up the mountain to be impacted by altitude sickness, according to Japanese news reports. The family thought he would be given a suspended sentence, and all, including his children, Lilliana, 8; Kalani, 7; Ridge Jr., 4, had packed their bags to leave Japan.
Derek Alkonis holds a picture of his son, U.S. Navy Lt. Ridge Alkonis and his son’s wife, Brittany Alkonis, in Dana Point on Monday, September 12, 2022. Lt. Alkonis is serving a 3-year prison sentence in Japan after being in a traffic accident that killed two people. His family says he suffered “mountain sickness” and became unconscious before the crash.
His family worries if Alkonis remains in jail beyond his leave time, he is at risk of losing his pay and benefits. They said he has been spending his time shredding hundreds of pieces of paper each day to make confetti – a prison job to earn some extra money for his family. “He had just asked his daughter a question when she answered him only to see he was slumped over,” Derek Alkonis said his daughter-in-law told him. “She screamed and kicked his seat.”
