Jamaican drug lord captured by police by Magdalena Rosova

Jamaican police arrested suspected drug lord Christopher “Dudus” Coke on Tuesday. The police was trying to arrest the gang leader for almost a month, during which 76 people died in a manhunt. Coke was arrested out of the capital where he had his stronghold in a slum. U.S. authorities called Coke the most dangerous drug lord in the world. Now he will face trial in New York, he is accused of drug and arms trafficking charges. Last month he eluded a four-day long bloody police offensive in his slum, when 76 people were killed. Police Commissioner Owen Ellington said that Coke had been arrested during a vehicle checkpoint along a highway, other circumstances of his ! capture will be investigated soon. But reverend Al Miller, an influential evangelical preacher, that helped Coke's brother to surrender, said that Coke had wanted to give himself in at the U.S. Embassy in Kingston but had been stopped by police. Miller further said that Coke had been arrested on his way to the embassy and Jamaican police had taken him to their nearby police headquarters and just after that he had been flown to Kingston. Last month The Associated Press released news that Coke's lawyer was negotiating with the U.S. Justice Department about Coke's safe transfer to New York to face charges. Coke's father, also gang leader, died in a prison fire in 1992 while waiting for extradition to the United States. Coke is probably afraid the same thing will happen to him. Ellington affirmed everyone that there was no need for alarm, legal proceedings would happen quickly.
