Three of five Americans arrested and detained in Turks and Caicos for unknowingly having ammunition in their luggage are speaking out as they face 12-year prison sentences.
FIRST ON FOX: Three of five Americans arrested and detained in Turks and Caicos since February for having stray ammunition in their luggage are bunking together as they await their fate on the islands. Bryan Hagerich, 39, of Pennsylvania, Ryan Watson, 40, of Oklahoma, and Sharitta Grier of Florida have become unlikely friends — even a kind of family — after finding themselves stuck on the islands over what each of them described as a mistake. 'We're all a support system for one another.
Watson had stray ammo, also left over from a hunting trip, in the lining of his carry-on bag. Grier had stray bullets in the lining of her bag after she recently purchased a firearm for her own protection. She told Fox News Digital that her brother owns a store that she sometimes closes at night and wanted a firearm in case of an emergency.
