Former Olympian Arrested on Drug Trafficking and Murder Charges

F.B.I. agents arrested Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder, in Mexico on Thursday. Mr. Wedding is accused of smuggling cocaine into the United States and hiring a hitman to kill an F.B.I informant. The ex-snowboarder is expected to appear in court on Monday.

He went from an Olympic snowboarder to the largest narcotrafficker in modern times. Military and law enforcement officers in Mexico worked hand in glove with our teams on the ground there to apprehend, last night in Mexico City, Ryan Wedding. This individual and his organization and the Sinaloa cartel poured narcotics into the streets of North America, and killed too many of our youth and corrupted too many of our citizens. And that ends today.
