Was traveling in Black Sea to meet woman with whom he interacted online
An American citizen was convicted by a Russian court on charges of illegally transporting weapons, the Associated Press first reported Monday.
American Charles Wayne Zimmerman was hit with a five-year sentence while traveling in Russia’s Black Sea coast in June to meet with a woman he had interacted with online, the Russian regional court reported, according to the AP. Russian officials searched the yacht upon its arrival at the port city of Sochi and discovered a rifle, which Zimmerman claimed was for self-defense.
