In court documents, a Baltimore Police detective and DEA task force member wrote that police received information that Davis, Proctor and Thornton "are armed drug traffickers and members of the Black Guerilla Family street gang, who are active in the Penrose neighborhood of Baltimore City."

Six men - at least three who police say are members of the Black Guerilla Family - were indicted last week in federal court on robbery charges. They didn't commit a robbery, but were caught in recorded conversations with a government source planning and preparing to carry one out, according to court records.

In the documents, police write that the cost of cocaine is currently "high," at $40,000 per kilogram wholesale. Johnson was allegedly recorded saying, "This s--t right here [a robbery of a drug trafficker] make[s] my day ... this my line of work [robbing drug dealers] ... that's why I'm pretty sure he pulled in the n-----s he pulled in."

Eight days later, the men, along with Trusty, got into a car and headed to the hotel where the robbery was to occur. Lying in wait were federal agents. According to court documents, Johnson was carrying latex gloves and a ski mask, and Davis had two gloves and a black mask. Proctor had a black stocking cap with a loaded .22 caliber pistol.
