Police Apprehend NHS Graduate Turned Drug Kingpin

A '90s graduate who was an alleged drug kingpin was apprehended near Miami earlier this month, according to the Gwinnett Daily Post.

Kip Genter, 37, was apprehended May 15 near Miami. Gwinnett County authorities have been on his trail for the last 12 years after being charged with cocaine trafficking, says the article.

In 1996, authorities found him in the middle of a multi-county cocaine and marijuana trafficking ring in the metro area. Gwinnett authorities executed multiple search warrants on a Duluth apartment complex, where he was allegedly in possession of five kilos of cocaine.

He and his lawyer were able to stall his court date until he fled the county in November 1999. It's believed Genter lived abroad using two aliases, but he eventually re-entered to the U.S.

Authorities believe that he had been living in Florida for the last decade and had been working with a vending company.

According to the article, Genter is being held at the Broward County Sheriff's Office, pending his extradition to Gwinnett.
