Recently, an American named Ryan Tyler Watson from Oklahoma was charged with possessing four rounds of ammunition in Turks and Caicos. He pleaded guilty and was fined $2,000, with a suspended 13-week sentence. Watson is now allowed to return home to Oklahoma City as long as he abides by the law and keeps the peace in Turks and Caicos within the next 9 months.
Watson was visiting the islands with his wife to celebrate friends' birthdays when the incident occurred. Bringing firearms or ammunition into Turks and Caicos without prior permission is strictly prohibited, as clarified by the Turks and Caicos Premier C. Washington Misick.
