FBI Captures Fugitive Just After Adding Him to Most Wanted List

FBI Nabs Fugitive Gregory Henderson Jr.

The FBI swiftly captured Gregory Henderson Jr., 46, merely a day after listing him among the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. Henderson was apprehended on Wednesday, following his inclusion on the FBI’s list on August 11.

He faced charges related to drug trafficking, money laundering, and dogfighting conspiracies. The FBI described him as armed and dangerous.

FBI Director Kash Patel remarked, “A major breakthrough in capturing fugitives has been achieved under President Trump’s leadership.”

Alleged Gang Association and Criminal Activities

Authorities accused Henderson of leading a violent Indianapolis gang with substantial drug distribution ties to the Sinaloa Cartel. This criminal organization, based in Mexico, distributed cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine throughout Indianapolis and the broader Midwest.

In August 2023, a major federal operation aimed to arrest several gang members. The operation resulted in the apprehension of 18 individuals, along with the confiscation of 61 firearms, drugs, $98,000 in cash, and 166 fighting dogs, as reported by the FBI.

Patel told Fox News Digital that Henderson’s capture marked the ninth apprehension of a Top Ten Most Wanted fugitive since Trump’s return to office.
