Coke agreed to waive extradition Wednesday and a went willingly with  U.S. authorities.

The suspected King Pen also released a statement to the media on his decision to go the U.S. saying,

“I take this decision for I now believe it to be in the best interest of my family, the community of western Kingston and in particular the people of Tivoli Gardens and above all Jamaica. "

When news came of his possible extradition his supporters flanked the streets and battled police for days leaving 76 people dead.

Coke has since said that he hopes his departure will help “heal” his country.

If convicted of the charges he faces life in prison.

    I'm kinda mad Chris *****e went out like this. Drug dealers know the risks and what the game is about so if you're going to play the role then play it to the fullest! You have your foot soldiers dying to save your freedom and for what? You turn yourself in anyway? Then you should've done that before all the blood shed. It's sad that so many lives were lost and even sadder that they did not have to die...
