Ryan Wedding, former Olympic snowboarder-turned-alleged drug kingpin, arrested...

Ryan Wedding, the former Olympic snowboarder 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 for allegedly 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. He is charged with overseeing the operations of a criminal enterprise, including engaging in witness intimidation tactics such as murder, and enriching himself with the enterprise’s laundered drug proceeds.
