U.S. tourist faces 12 years in prison after bringing ammunition to Turks and Caicos

The vacation came to an abrupt end when airport staff found a Ziploc containing bullets in the couple's carry-on luggage. Watson said it was hunting ammunition he had accidentally brought with him ? but a strict law in Turks and Caicos may still see a court imposing a mandatory 12-year sentence.

"They were hunting ammunition rounds that I use for whitetail deer," Watson told NBC Boston in an interview conducted last week that aired after their first court appearance Tuesday.

British tourist, 72, is mauled by a bear after lowering car window to take a selfie with it in Romania.

The 72-year-old Scottish woman was driving on the Transfăgărășan mountain road in Argeş County, on April 22, when she came across two bears.

As she stopped the car to snap a photo with the impressive predators, one of the bears leaped onto its hind legs directly outside her vehicle.

The tourist bravely rolled down her window to get a better view of the beast, preparing her phone for the photo.

But in a grisly twist of events, the bear pounced forward and mauled her right arm.



In her hospital bed, she added: 'I just wanted to take a picture of him.'
