NEW YORK, United States — Christopher 'Dudus' Coke has pleaded not guilty to US charges he ran a massive drug ring from Kingston.
Coke entered the plea Friday in federal court in Manhattan today.
The 42-year-old alleged boss of the Shower Posse gang was sent to New York yesterday under tight security after waiving his right to an extradition hearing. His case had sparked street violence in Kingston that left more than 70 dead.
US prosecutors say Coke conspired to distribute cocaine and marijuana throughout the eastern United States for more than 15 years. They say drug dealers gave him 'tribute payments' in the form of electronics, clothing and firearms.
He faces a possible life term if convicted.
