A pink wig found with ‘Dudus’

“We could not believe that the big don had a pink wig in his car! Pink! We were in shock,” a police source told Chat! yesterday, between bouts of uncontrollable laughter.
“We still in shock. Maybe that is why he was able to stay in hiding for so long, because people looking for a man but he was really a ‘woman’!”
Police attached to the Spanish Town Police Station, along with personnel from the police communications team, have confirmed that a pink wig was among items found in the vehicle in which Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke and Reverend Al Miller were travelling when they were stopped by members of the security forces on the Mandela Highway yesterday.
However, they were unable to say who wore the wig. Other items found in the vehicle in which the men were travelling were a pair of female glasses and a cap.
Police Commissioner Owen Ellington, told members of the media at a press briefing held at the Jamaica Defence Force headquarters at Up Park Camp on May 28, that some of the male corpses in Tivoli Gardens weeks ago, were dressed in female attire, indicating that members of the West Kingston militia which engaged the security forces in battle disguised themselves as women.

I Don't want to hear any of these foolish djs sing no more badman tune, saying how bad Presi or whoever else for that matter is. They are all a set of cowards, who just keep people hostage, and living in fear because they have guns and these people don't. The cat is out of the bag, do some nice music like Buju in the 90s, no more badman tune, about this an that. "None ah dem nuh bad enuh"
6/23/2010
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL lawwwdddd mi gad, is wah dis??? PINK wig!!!!!!!! Otis, u sound rather mad, were u supposed to have met up with Prezi inna im PINK outfit!!!! Dis is di real passa passa LOLOLOLOL
6/23/2010
But seriously, why didn't Presi do this instead of taking on the state, then running away like a scaled dog, and caused 73 people to be killed. It's all his fault, if he had surrendered or waived his rights, so much people would not be killed.
But they taught they were above the law, now his Presidential clique office is now the Constabulary clique and he's embarrassed on tv wearing a wig and dress(much like how Sadam was found in a hole) for the coward he really is.

Dudus how could you have allowed so much mayhem in the community that the people show you so much love and respect. Even now they are singing your praises. You are an intelligent man so do the right thing. Go to the USA and tell them what you know. You can be a vehicle of positive change in this Jamaica land we love.
6/23/2010
The driver thought he was picking up a hot chick...lol
6/23/2010
we bemoan the death of 73 people in TG during the incursion there in May but it was reported that some people were in the streets as if nothing was going on .did they understand the danger? and who are the dead men in women's clothes? committing a crime then run to mama doesn't make you innocent.
6/23/2010
Is it the color that is a problem or the fact that man must not wear wig? I see Jamaican Judges still wearing the white wig and I don't hear the police make fun of it. If you are wanted and have to disguise your self then disguise. I think the
'Overn-ment and Insecurity Forces should be a shame to murder 73 people only to have found the man they are looking for in a traffic stops, then further making up stories as if you are some great investigators working on intel, Smhhh! Please, all murders
6/23/2010
... or was the wig for the driver
6/23/2010
Was it a "Hot Pink" wig? All jokes aside, the Observer cartoonist depicted Dudus in a pink wig last week before he was caught/surrendered. Does he know something that the rest of us do not know? He seems to hit the nail on the head with a lot of other issues as well. Consult him! im seem fi no wah a gwaan bout de place.
6/23/2010
Of all the colors? Just why did you think you could pull off a pink wig? If anything it just shows that u r so ghetto!!LOL with that bright color!! you are suppose to try and disguise yourself not drawn attention with a PINK WIG?? You are not a cute man to begin with, you need to be charged for committing a fashion offense too!! Or are you trying to tell us something? Are you on the down-low? Well the prisoners in USA will have a field day with you!!hehe
6/23/2010
Well why then was he only allowed to pose for his mug shot in his black wig? show us every thing! we are adults here. Were there any dresses in the car aswell? dosent all matter. we need law and order in JA.
6/23/2010
A photo is worth a thousand words, I would'nt in my wildest iminagation tought the man was a cross dresser. Did the Security Force check if he or she was wearing VS underwear.
6/23/2010
The Observer has officially become the suss newspaper. Why not share with the public the shirt color, name of shoes and socks etc. that the alleged drug dealer had on.
6/23/2010
That issue is not going to be resolve until December so sorry@otis lol @nadine Johnson @lattoya whitmore i agree something is up with that .......Pink of all colour wig lawd a massy
6/23/2010
Dudus seems to like bright colours so he will look very good in the orange suit the US has for him...LOL
6/23/2010
Poor Otis is so upset that his hero got caught.
6/23/2010
Maybe the pink wig belonged to the Rev. Al Miller.
6/23/2010
A pink wig on any animal would draw attention. So much for disguises. Dudus must hav been on his way to audition for a part in a roots play.

look at the garbage the observer wastes time, space and effort reporting. someone should be fired. or maybe this is the sort of things they get their kicks from? nothing about the portmore congestion due to works?
6/23/2010
How Ironic it is for the observer to have displayed a cartoon ob Friday, June 18th of dudus dressed in a pink wig and pink dress and now the police is reporting that they found a pick wig in the car in which he was travelling yesterday....COINCIDENCE OR THE MEDIA WAS NOT REPORTING EVERYTHING???

What kind of naivety is this among squaddies?I had an uncle , a detective, many years ago, told me he picked up a woman thumbing a ride.Always alert he got the picture when glancing at hands and feet. Being unarmed at the time,he took off his hat , let the wind blow it away , then asked "her" to go pick it up. Why was not Mr Miller detained also? too B.I.G.? Also, some people did not want Dudus to reach USA embassy. Already we hear about charges to be laid . Court issue. Years to resolve???
6/23/2010
WOW Can't tell the boys from the girls , LOL Snagga Puss. Pink Wig Paris would say That's hot. Hope the Orange Jumper will Suit him also . Comedy at the Best In Jamaica. LOL
