Edmonds was charged with no operators license and a brake light violation before being released.
Burgess was charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Burgess was incarcerated in the Halifax County Jail under a $5,000 secured bond and has a November 3 court date pending.
