Reputed Jamaican drug kingpin Christopher (Dudus) Coke was captured quietly in his homeland Tuesday, capping a *lo**y, weeks-long manhunt.
The 41-year-old Coke is expected to be flown to New York to face trial on federal drug trafficking and gun running charges.
The fearsome fugitive was on his way to turn himself in to the American Embassy when cops stopped his convoy, said a reverend who was with him.
"A contact was made on his behalf that he wanted to give himself in," said the Rev. Al Miller, who assisted in the surrender of Coke's brother earlier this month.
"I therefore made arrangements with his lawyers because he wanted to go ahead with the extradition process, so we communicated with the U.S. Embassy because that's where he would feel more comfortable."
Police Commissioner Owen Ellington said Coke was captured by cops manning a vehicle checkpoint, but he declined to elaborate on the arrest.
In the minutes after Coke was transfered to a nearby police station, armed soldiers quickly took up positions surrounding it.
The aptly-named suspect is planning to waive his right to an extradition hearing, the Jamaican Observer reported.
His arrest came nearly a month after some 76 people were killed in a four-day gun battle between Jamaican security forces and gunmen loyal to Coke.
The clashes started after police and soldiers stormed a Kingston slum in an attempt to take the reputed drug lord into custody.
Prosecutors say Coke is the leader of a murderous drug gang known as the "Shower Posse," which shipped drugs and weapons back and forth between Jamaica and New York.
Coke lorded over the vast criminal enterprise since 1994, personally directing drug deals and gun purchases, prosecutors charge.
Also known as "President," Coke was seen as a Robin Hood figure in his Tivoli Gardens slum, where he acted as community leader and enforcer.
He faces life in prison on charges of trafficking cocaine, marijuana and weapons.
After Coke's indictment last August, Jamaica refused requests to extradite him to New York. But when the island nation caved in to American pressure last month, all hell broke loose.
