Another American who was arrested in the Turks and Caicos Islands in recent months for possession of ammunition, was sentenced Monday to 33 weeks in prison, the court confirmed to CBS News. Michael Lee Evans, from Texas, had pleaded guilty and faced a prison sentence for seven 9mm cartridges found in his luggage during his visit to the British territory late last year.
Evans, who is terminally ill, was allowed to return to the United States while out on bail, local newspaper Magnetic Media reported.

He was arrested in December when the ammunition was found in his luggage at the airport as he attempted to leave the islands after he and his wife renewed their vows, according to Magnetic Media.
