Turks and Caicos court hearing for American arrested with ammo in bag could set new precedent
Fox News
A Turks and Caicos judge will determine the fate of a Pennsylvania father and former pro baseball player who is facing a minimum 12-year sentence for having ammunition in his bag at the airport.
"It was never my intent to come here with ammunition," Hagerich told Fox News Digital. "It’s just a tragedy. The separation from my wife and family has just been catastrophic."

Hagerich was initially arrested at the Providenciales International Airport in February after security found ammunition in his bag. Just before his flight home from a family vacation with his wife and two children, Hagerich heard his name called over the airport intercom for a random bag search.
