Reputed Jamaican druglord Christopher “Dudus” Coke, the subject of an islandwide manhunt, has reportedly volunteered to surrender himself to officials in New York.After attempts to arrest him in Kingston turned into urban warfare that left 73 dead, Coke began negotiating with United States authorities, federal sources said.The 41-year-old alleged head of the notorious Shower Posse gang could be in custody in Manhattan by the end of the weekend. He is wanted in New York on multiple counts of drug-running and gun-running.The Jamaican Observer newspaper quoted sources close to Coke as saying that he “feels it is in his best interest to be taken to the United States, rather than to a Jamaican jail”.
