Ryan Wedding, a former U.S. Olympic snowboarder, has been arrested. He was on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list.
Wedding, 36, was captured in Mexico. The FBI had accused him of a violent crime spree across three U.S. states. The charges include armed robbery and kidnapping.
He competed for the United States in the 2010 Winter Olympics. His athletic career contrasts sharply with his later alleged crimes.
The FBI added Wedding to its most famous fugitives list earlier this year. This list highlights the agency's most urgent cases. His arrest followed an international search.
Authorities have not yet released details of his capture. He is now awaiting legal proceedings.
