Investigators, along with agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation Bel Air Office, were able to identify members of Burks’ drug trafficking organization. After his arrest, multiple search and seizure warrants were executed at locations in the Willow Brook Community where Burk was known to reside.

An additional small amount of crack cocaine, along with a loaded .40 caliber gun and over $13,045 in drug proceeds were seized.
