Jan. 23 (UPI) -- The FBI arrested former Canadian Olympian Ryan Wedding on Friday in Mexico, scratching off a suspect from the agency's Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitive list, FBI Director Kash Patel said.
Patel announced Wedding's arrest in a post on the social media platform X.
"Ryan James Wedding was taken into custody in Mexico last night," Patel said. "He is being transported from Mexico to the U.S. ... to face justice."
The United States' manhunt for Wedding for more than a year. The Justice Department indicted him on cocaine trafficking and murder charges in October 2024 and added him to the FBI's most wanted list in March. The State Department offered a $10 million reward for information leading to his arrest and conviction.
