Alleged Jamaican drug suspect, Christopher Michael Coke, also known as Dudus, was extradited to America yesterday. He was apprehended by the Jamaican government at a security check point, on his way to turning himself in at the U.S. Embassy, driven by Reverend Al Miller.

The Jamaican military and police removed him from the car and placed him under arrest. Dudus waived his right to extradition and was then turned over to the U.S. government, who were waiting with a helicopter to transport him to New York in the United States of America .
Dudus initially wished to fight the extradition and became a fugitive. However, yesterday he waived his right to extradition, which could have allowed him to stay in Jamaica and exhaust the appeals process for 2-3 years, delaying his removal from the island.
After waiving his right to extradition, he formally apologized to the Jamaican people for all the turmoil and bloodshed his extradition caused. The U.S. Department of Justice
