An American man, Tyler Wenrich, was sentenced to time served and fined $9,000 for unknowingly possessing ammunition in his luggage while visiting the Turks and Caicos Islands. Wenrich, a Virginia resident and father, avoided a potential 12-year sentence under the islands' strict gun laws. He expressed relief after the sentencing and has returned home to Virginia.
We are happy to have Tyler back home with his family in Virginia. I am grateful that Turks and Caicos showed judicial discretion, and did not apply a 12-year sentence to someone who made a mistake. https://t.co/G9bdOBBRbx
