ELKTON MAN CHARGED AS DRUG KINGPIN

(ELKTON, MD) –Maryland State Police Gang Enforcement Unit completes a long term multi-jurisdictional investigation which led to the arrest of an Elkton man charging him as a drug kingpin. 
The suspect is identified as Jamor T. Burks, 27 of the unit-block of Willow Court, Elkton, Md. He is charged with CDS-drug kingpin, possession with intent to distribute heroin, conspiracy drug possession in large amounts, possession of heroin, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, illegal possession of a firearm and other related charges. Burks is currently being held without bond at the Cecil County Detention Center. He was arrested yesterday at the Cecil County Health Department without incident.

Just after 5:00 p.m. on March 16, 2015, members of the Maryland State Police Gang Enforcement Unit completed a seven month investigation into the distribution of heroin and violence in the Winding Brook Community of Elkton, Md. Investigators were able to identify Jamor Burks as the supplier of large amounts of heroin to individuals who, along with Burks, controlled the heroin distribution in this open air drug market. Through exhausting surveillance operations, Burks was observed traveling from Maryland to Delaware, transporting the illegal substance.

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. Throughout the investigation, approximately 4,000 single serving bags of heroin were recovered, with a street value of $12,000. An additional small amount of crack cocaine, along with a loaded .40 caliber gun and over $13,045 in drug proceeds were seized.

During this ongoing investigation, members of the Maryland State Police Gang Enforcement Unit worked closely with investigators from the Northern Region Criminal Enforcement Division, the Maryland State Apprehension Team, Cecil and Harford County Drug Task Forces, and the Elkton Police Department. The investigation continues as additional members are identified and arrested.

As long as there is demand - there will be another supplier!

Think about they reduced the instances of prostitution...they started arresting and shaming the "Johns"! Did the problem go away...NO, but you don't hear about it as much!

He was a King Pin wow 13k and a gun. We just keep popping the low level guys. Thousands of kilos come thru Maryland monthly.

I am in no way taking away from the great police work. I just do not get the system. The rich get richer and the street level guys just keep paying. It does not work but if we stopped the war were would we be?

1:49 Good. If I were in charge, they would never see a second after they were arrested. A .45 costs .10.

You can't take the good police work away because there was none! Hey cops !!! Quit using dopers you bust to get Intel! Do your jobs and send some real cops out pretending to be thugs. Have them work their way up and find the real supplier. Like real cops used to do!Or is that to dangerous anymore?

Your right. He is a moron to think a cop would do something right with actual police work. Its easier to violate rights or just make money off the hard working mans backs. That real police work is old school.

Used to live there 25 years ago. Then the welfare crowd from Philadelphia, Baltimore came and Cecil county became trash. I see the same trend here.It's a shame. We give these bums EVERYTHING and they still are bums.

$13,000 and a gun makes him a Kingpin in the drug trade?
How much did they SPEND on this "investigation, which looks more like a dress-up cop operation than police work.
That much money passes through ONE street corner on any given Friday night.
Give yourself some awards and some plaques. Hold some ceremony where you give a couple of Nazi's a medal.
Then realize you didn't do anything about drugs.
And don't DARE do anything to the rich white guys who make sure tons of drugs get into the USA.
Keep cheering.
