An Oklahoma man facing serious charges in Turks and Caicos walked out of jail on bond, but he still can't come home. | MORE | Nightmare vacation for Oklahoma couple leaves husband behind bars Valerie Watson hugged her children for the first time in weeks on Tuesday, but her husband, Ryan, remains stuck on the islands after a vacation turned into a nightmare. Valerie said she and Ryan went to Turks and Caicos for a 40th birthday celebration, and they were supposed to come home on Friday, April 12. But four bullets found in their luggage kept that from happening. "Everything was in that bag from the moment we left our house. It went through security in OKC. It never got flagged through TSA," Valerie said. The excitement of coming home to see their children after the vacation quickly turned to chaos when security flagged the couple's carry-on bag. "They pull out a little tiny Ziplock bag, and it had something gold in it. I couldn’t tell what it was," Valerie said. "I looked at Ryan and asked, I said, 'What are those?' And he was like, ‘I think those are my hunting, deer hunting, bullets.'"Valerie said they had no idea the bullets were there, and they were left in there from a previous hunting trip. The situation is a serious crime in Turks and Caicos, and the couple was detained. Since then, two different locals put up "surety bonds," so they didn't have to stay behind bars. One of the locals was their driver during the vacation, and the other was a local restaurant owner whom they didn't know."The fact that these people are willing to help us in this situation is so humbling because they’re complete strangers to us, and they’re taking a huge risk," Valerie said. "I just want people to know that we are not bad people. This was truly an honest mistake. Ryan is really a responsible gun owner. He really is. We have a safe. Everything is always locked up. It truly was an oversight." >> Download the KOCO 5 AppWhile Ryan is out on bail, his wife said his future is unclear, and he could face 12 years in jail. "It's hard to imagine that four hunting rounds can land Ryan in prison for 12 years. I can't even fathom that that is our reality, but that's our reality at this moment," Valerie said. Will Rogers World Airport said they have no comment on this. “TSA is conducting a review at OKC, which was the originating airport. We are aware of an incident in Turks and Caicos involving a U.S. citizen and refer you to law enforcement authorities in Turks and Caicos for more information," TSA said in a statement. Ryan's next court date is June 7.
