TURKS & CAICOS – Ryan Watson, an American tourist from Oklahoma, was fined $2,000 for bringing four bullets into the Turks and Caicos islands, avoiding further jail time.
Watson was arrested on April 12 when airport officials found hunting ammunition in his luggage.
He pleaded guilty, and the judge opted for a fine over the mandatory 12-year minimum sentence for the offense.
Watson, who claims he was unaware of the ammo in his bag, paid a $15,000 bond and remained on the islands during legal proceedings.
He is expected to return to the U.S. soon. Watson is the third American in recent months to receive a suspended prison sentence and fine for this offense.
