LOS ANGELES (AP) — A former Olympic snowboarder for Canada has been charged with running a drug trafficking ring that authorities say shipped vast amounts of cocaine across the Americas and killed four people. The FBI said Thursday a $50,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and extradition of Ryan James Wedding. Wedding is a Canadian citizen who was living in Mexico and is considered a fugitive. He’s charged in the United States with running a criminal enterprise, murder and conspiring to distribute cocaine. Another 15 people were charged in connection with the alleged drug ring and a dozen have been arrested.
