In a press release on February 28, the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force stated that a commercial flight that was scheduled to arrive in Charlotte, North Carolina, from the Dominican Republic had to be rerouted to the islands due to a passenger named Smith becoming ill during the journey.
