Jamaican gang boss arrested on way to American embassy | World news | The Guardian: "local evangelical clergyman, Al Miller, told a Jamaican radio station he had been accompanying Coke to the US embassy after arranging his surrender to the Americans when they were stopped by the police and recognised. Miller helped Coke's brother, Leighton 'Livity' Coke, hand himself in to the authorities earlier this month.
The police said they were keen to question Miller about his contacts with Coke while he was on the run.
Miller said that Coke would not fight his extradition to New York to face trial on drug and weapons trafficking charges. The Americans allege that Coke heads a criminal empire stretching from Jamaica to Europe and North America.
It is not clear if the US authorities had agreed to accept Coke's surrender or if they even knew he was coming. One possibility is that the Americans tipped off the Jamaican police as it is likely that the embassy would have had to have handed him over in order for the formal extradition procedures to be followed.
However, Ellington said that Coke could face charges locally first."
