The investigation into Brian Keith Adams, 35, began in December 2023 when federal agents suspected him of trafficking firearms from North and South Carolina into the Baltimore area. Adams, who does not possess a federal firearms license, is prohibited from owning firearms. Between February and June 2024, Adams engaged in transactions with an undercover agent, selling over 100 firearms and more than 100 grams of methamphetamine. These firearm sales occurred in both Maryland and North Carolina. During one of these exchanges, Adams was found to be carrying a loaded firearm for his protection. The multi-agency effort involved the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Maryland State Police (MSP), the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS), the Baltimore Police Department (BPD), the Prince George’s County Police Department (PGPD), and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD). The collaboration of these agencies was crucial in dismantling the trafficking operation. The District of Maryland’s U.S. Attorney’s Office highlighted resources for the public to report fraud, available on their website.
