Bryan Hagerich will learn if he’ll serve the minimum sentence of 12 years or if his case can be adjudicated.

Pa. dad facing prison time at popular vacation spot for ammo charge says the law has 'unintended consequences' , a Somerset County father of two, is facing a minimum of 12 years in prison on the island of Turks and Caicos after being detained when he was trying to fly back home from vacation back in February.

“You’re not checked entering the country, you’re checked leaving the country, and that to me makes no sense,” Ashley Hagerich, Bryan Hagerich’s wife, told“That’s a bag my husband has used numerous times on hunting trips, and going to hunting camp, and it was just leftover 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.

According to The U.S. Embassy in Nassau’s travel alert, “If you bring a firearm or ammunition into TCI, even inadvertently, we will not be able to secure your release from custody. You are subject to TCI laws and must follow local law enforcement procedures.”
