The families of four Americans charged in Turks and Caicos for carrying ammunition insisted on Thursday that their loved ones were “unjustly detained” on the island awaiting legal proceedings. Last week, the government of the Turks and Caicos confirmed that they had charged four American men for collectively carrying 33 rounds of ammunition. It identified the four men as Michael Lee Evans, Bryan Hagerich, Tyler Scott Wenrich and Ryan Tyler Watson.
” According to a post by relatives on the fundraising site GoFundMe, the four men were on vacation on the islands celebrating a friend's birthday and when they tried to return home security found 'ammunition unknowingly left in a duffel bag from a deer hunting trip' which went unnoticed by authorities when leaving the United States.
