Alleged drug lord Christopher 'Dudus' Coke has been arrested in Jamaica following a month-long manhunt.
Jamaican police backed by troops descended on Tivoli Gardens slum last month seeking to arrest him.
Despite heavy security, house-to-house searches and a bloody shootout between security forces and armed supporters of Mr Coke, he managed to evade capture, amid rumours that he was either being sheltered on the island or had fled.
73 people died in the unrest.
Mr Coke is wanted in the US on drug trafficking charges, but locally he is viewed as a Robin Hood figure who offers security and small-time jobs on some of the world's toughest streets.
The government had declared a state of emergency and downtown Kingston was deserted for days.
Many people were trapped in their homes with no food and water, as gun battles raged on the capital's streets.
Tensions after a nearly week-long assault last month had divided the nation.
