A Virginia guy avoided a long prison sentence Tuesday when a pass judgement on in Turks and Caicos sentenced him to time served for illegally bringing bullets to the island getaway.
Tyler Wenrich, 31, used to be fined $9,000 and sentenced to 3 weeks time served, that means he used to be loose to go back to Louisa, Virginia.
Wenrich, who works as a paramedic and has an 18-month-old child, had pleaded accountable to an ammunition charge that can have uncovered him to a 12-year prison sentence.
But a pass judgement on dominated there have been “extraordinary circumstances” in the subject, making Wenrich eligible for the shorter sentence.
Wenrich’s highway house adopted the similar trail as fellow American Bryan Hagerich, who had additionally confronted a 12-year time period prior to being set loose.
Wenrich have been on a cruise send when the vessel docked in Grand Turk. Bullets from a prior searching shuttle have been left unknowingly in his bag as he went via a safety checkpoint.
The Virginia guy mentioned it used to be an blameless oversight, and he had no sick intentions when he by chance left the rounds in his bag.
