obtaining and executing a search warrant for Durkin's home. Hund
appropriated at least $2,500. Durkin filed a complaint that
money was stolen. The officers involved were interviewed by
police investigators in relation to this complaint and, per
Wilson's instructions, denied knowledge of any missing money.
Respondent asserts that Wilson, Grove, and Cattalo along
with Hund and Ryan each received a portion of the $2,000
appropriated on the Durkin search. Durkin did not testify and
the complaint is not part of the record. Hund testified that he
found $2,500, of which he put $500 in his sock, and that at the
unit, he gave Grove the remaining $2,000 and received back
approximately $400 to $500. Ryan testified that he did not know
about the money being appropriated at the scene, but back at the
unit he received at least $75 from Grove. There is no evidence
of Wilson's or Cattalo's receiving any cash from the Durkin 1983
search. Accordingly, we attribute no income to Wilson or
Cattalo. We find that Grove received $400 from the Durkin
search.

Sometime during 1983, Spennato contacted Hund and asked Hund to
