The FBI’s arrest of long-hunted drug kingpin and former Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding marks the 6th top-ten most wanted fugitive captured by the agency under President Trump — capping a “historic” year at the agency, director Kash Patel announced.
Patel, speaking Friday at the Ontario international airport in California after Wedding’s arrest in Mexico City, touted the FBI’s successes over the past year in bringing criminals to justice in record-breaking numbers.
“Today we are announcing the capture of another FBI’s most wanted, top-ten fugitive Ryan Wedding,” Patel said. “That makes six top ten FBI captures in one year alone.”
