American arrested in Turks and Caicos after ammo found in luggage out on bail, faces June court date

Ryan Watson, the American tourist who is facing a possible 12-year prison term in Turks and Caicos after ammo was allegedly found in his luggage by airport security, is out on bail.

Watson, 40, secured a $15,000 bond on Wednesday after spending two nights in jail. The Oklahoma father of two must stay on the island and has to check in every Tuesday and Thursday at the Grace Bay Police Station while his case moves forward. Watson's wife, Valerie Watson, is not facing any charges and was able to return home to Oklahoma on Tuesday.

His next court date is scheduled for June 7.
