Before his death, he was involved in a minor legal trouble stemming from evidence distribution in a drug trafficking case where David's investigator broke some rules by making arrangements to put the proof in a separate room. The government appealed for sanctions against David and had quotes provided at a hearing by Aylor and the presiding judge.

The government declared it a false public disclosure of sealed material. Federal agents filed another document agreeing that the rules were not broken intentionally, and the sanctions were rejected.
