During the execution of the warrant, Brown waived his Miranda rights, admitted his involvement in the conspiracy and directed officers to the recovery of heroin, cocaine, and a firearm from his bedroom. Brown bought and sold in excess of 13 kilograms of cocaine and 478 grams of heroin, worth an estimated value of $555,850.
