A Pennsylvania man spoke exclusively with ABC News as he awaits the possibility of being sentenced to more than a decade in prison for bringing hunting ammunition into Turks and Caicos.
Matt Rivers Bryan Hagerich is facing a dozen years in a Turks and Caicos prison after airport security found ammunition in his suitcase back in February.
River asked Bryan: "When you see them grab the box of ammo and you realize that it's in there, what's the first thing that goes through your head?" "I would certainly say it was probably the best one that we've had yet," Ashley said, referring to their latest trip before heading home. A tough amendment to a law in Turks and Caicos set a minimum 12-year sentence for anyone found with illegal guns or ammunition.
"This is, like, probably the loneliest I've ever been in my entire life," Watson said. "To have somebody that's experiencing the - the very same thing as you. It gives you some bit of support." "Twelve years is a long time. And just all those special things, you know, you look forward to as a parent, knowing that you potentially couldn't be there for those, uh, that's what keeps me up at night," he said."What do you say to the people who say, look, you broke the law? It's a shame what your family's going through, but you broke the law here," Rivers asked.
