Turks-And-Caicos,Firearms

The men both violated the laws in Turks and Caicos that don't permit firearms, ammunition and other weapons. They argue that the ammo was in their luggage by mistake.

Two men, including Pa. resident, are both facing prison time at popular vacation spot. *** Local Caption ***Much like the Oklahoma man who faces 12 years in prison when four bullets were left in his duffel bag unknowingly from a previous deer hunting trip while traveling, a Pennsylvania man is also facing more than a decade behind bars because of a strict firearms and ammunition law in Turks and Caicos.

“That’s a bag my husband has used numerous times on hunting trips, and going to hunting camp, and it was just left over in a secure pouch and it was just forgotten about, and you know, people make mistakes, and in this sense, the crime just doesn’t fit the sentencing and the repercussions of this,” Ashley Hagerich said to WPXI.

A spokesperson with the U.S. Department of State was asked Wednesday about reports regarding numerous Americans who are currently detained on the islands and awaiting hearings.
