Ryan Wedding, ex-Olympic snowboarder accused of being a drug kingpin, is arrested
Ryan Wedding, a Canadian former Olympic snowboarder allegedly behind one of the most violent drug trafficking organizations, was arrested, two law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation told NBC News on Friday.
Wedding, 44, was wanted by the FBI on charges of running a transnational drug trafficking organization responsible for importing about 60 metric tons of cocaine a year into Los Angeles via semitrucks from Mexico, Attorney General Pam Bondi previously said at a news conference.
FBI Director Kash Patel had compared Wedding to the late Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar and Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, notorious leader of Mexico’s powerful Sinaloa cartel.
