FBI adds former Olympian to most wanted list, offers $10 million reward

The FBI added a former Olympian and a Canadian national to its list of top 10 most wanted fugitives on Thursday.

FBI Los Angeles chief Akil Davis said in a press conference Thursday that Wedding's alleged trafficking ring "routinely shipped hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia, through Mexico and Southern California, to Canada and other locations in the United States, and for orchestrating multiple murders and an attempted murder in furtherance of these drug crimes."

"Wedding went from shredding powder on the slopes at the Olympics to distributing powder cocaine on the streets of U.S. cities and in his native Canada," Davis said in a statement.

"The alleged murders of his competitors make Wedding a very dangerous man, and his addition to the list of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, coupled with a major reward offer by the State Department, will make the public our partner so that we can catch up with him before he puts anyone else in danger," he added.

Davis noted that Secretary of State Marco Rubio approved the $10 million reward for Wedding's capture. The FBI is also offering an additional $50,000 for information leading to his arrest.

Wedding was previously convicted in the U.S. of conspiracy to distribute cocaine, and he was sentenced to prison in 2010, according to federal records. 

The FBI says Wedding's aliases include "El Jefe," "Giant," "Public Enemy," "James Conrad King," and "Jesse King." They say he is roughly 6'3" and 240 pounds.

Federal authorities first issued an arrest warrant for Wedding in September of last year, but he has still not been apprehended.

Wedding is charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute controlled substances; conspiracy to export cocaine; continuing criminal enterprise; murder in connection with a continuing criminal enterprise and drug crime; and attempt to commit murder in connection with a continuing criminal enterprise and drug crime.
