A Pennsylvania man who was arrested in Turks and Caicos for bringing ammunition to the islands will soon be able to return home. Brian Hagerich has been given a 52-week suspended sentence and a $6,700 fine. Once he pays the fine, he will be free to head back to the U.S. Hagerich was arrested in February after ammunition was found in a bag he used for hunting trips, according to his wife.
Hagerich is one of five Americans accused of bringing ammunition to Turks and Caicos. Initially facing a potential 12-year prison sentence, he pleaded guilty to possession of ammunition charges. His attorney stated that Hagerich is relieved and looking forward to paying the fine and returning home as soon as possible.
