The arrest of a drug gang boss on his wedding night

Colombian drug cartel boss Luis Daniel Santana Hernandez, 24, was arrested by the anti-drug police during his church wedding, and was arrested while exchanging wedding vows.

In a video released by the Colombian government, anti-drug cartel officers are shown approaching Santana as he stands near the church structure wearing a dark wedding suit, and during his arrest he smiles at the policemen.

Several of his family's women started screaming as he was led away, while a woman believed to be his mother-in-law tried to free him from the police.

Santana, dubbed "the Dagger", has been a fugitive from justice since 2017 and is believed to have been hiding in a mountainous area in the Colombian state of Antioquia.

Apparently convinced that the authorities had given up on arresting him, he came out of hiding to celebrate his marriage in a chapel in the small town of Oramita.
