'Dudus' in drag: How accused Jamaican drug lord evaded arrest

Los Angeles Times: "When accused Jamaican drug lord Christopher 'Dudus' Coke was finally arrested last week, authorities said he had evaded capture since last month's deadly clashes in West Kingston with the help of disguises. At the time of his arrest, The Times reports, 'He was dressed like a woman and wearing a wig, police said.'

The revelation that Coke moved about Jamaica disguised as a woman has sparked some discussion on the island about the nature and role of powerful 'dons' in the broader society. Writing in the Jamaica Observer, columnist Chris Burns notes that while the image of Coke in a woman's wig is at first comical, it also reveals nagging social problems in Jamaica.
