He was facing a minimum of 12 years in prison, but was freed from the islands after a judge gave him a suspended sentence and a fine.

Hagerich is now back home in Somerset County with his family.

6 News was able to sit down and talk with Hagerich and his wife Ashley on Thursday.

They said trying to keep a normal life for their two kids was main priority while Bryan was in Turks and Caicos. They also stress that this is a mistake that can happen to any traveler, even ones that practice gun safety and they never expected to end up in this situation.
