A Turks and Caicos judge on Friday morning issued a suspended 52-month sentence to Bryan Hagerich, a Pennsylvania dad of two and former pro baseball player who pleaded guilty to possessing ammunition on the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI).
Hagerich, 39, is one of five Americans arrested and detained on the islands since February for having stray ammunition in their luggage, a crime punishable by up to 12 years in TCI. The other Americans include Ryan Watson, 40, of Oklahoma, Sharitta Grier, 45, of Florida; Tyler Wenrich, 31, of Virginia; and Michael Lee Evans, 72, of Texas.
"He will be released shortly," Hagerich's spokesperson, Jonathan Franks, said in a Friday tweet.
Hagerich was also ordered to pay a $6,500 fine.
