Disgraced ex-Olympian Ryan Wedding — one of America’s most-wanted fugitives — was paraded in handcuffs as he landed in Southern California Friday to face murder and drug charges, dramatic video shows.
The Canadian snowboarder-turned-alleged drug kingpin touched down at Ontario International Airport in San Bernardino County, flanked by FBI agents as he was marched off the plane.
Sporting a Los Angeles cap, Wedding kept his head down as federal authorities escorted him across the tarmac.
Wedding is suspected in multiple murders tied to his alleged El Chapo-esque narcotics empire, according to law enforcement.
The FBI announced earlier Friday that Wedding was captured in Mexico, calling the arrest a major blow to an international criminal network during a joint press conference alongside the LAPD, DEA and Canada’s RCMP.
The alleged drug trafficker was slated to appear in court Monday to face multiple charges, including running a criminal enterprise, murder, conspiring to distribute cocaine and other crimes.
