Kingston, Jamaica - On Thursday, authorities in Jamaica confirmed that alleged drug lord Christopher Lloyd Coke, aka, "Dudus," 41, was extradited to the U.S. Coke will appear before a Manhattan federal judge on Friday to face charges.
In 2009, Coke was charged in New York by the U.S Attorney's Office with conspiracy to distribute marijuana, cocaine, and illegally trafficking weapons. A $5 million dollar reward was offered by the U.S. government for information leading to his arrest. The U.S. sought Coke's extradition to face federal charges. Last Tuesday, Coke was arrested by Spanish Town Police at a check point near the capitol of Kingston. Coke was apparently enroute to the U.S. Embassy to turn himself in, according to Reverend Al Miller who accompanied Coke.
