come to his massage parlor. When leaving the unit to go to
Spennato's, he told Grove and Cattalo that he was going to meet
with an informant. Spennato gave Hund $2,000 to help clear his
brother, who had been arrested by 1 Squad.
Respondent asserts that of a total payment of $2,000, Grove
and Cattalo each received $500. Hund testified that he went to
Spennato's with Grove and Cattalo and split the money with them
and Bill Young from 1 Squad. Spennato did not testify, nor did
Young. Grove's testimony involved answering a phone call from
Spennato and did not address going to Spennato's. Cattalo did
not testify about Spennato. Hund had been receiving payoffs from
Spennato since Hund was on 1 Squad. We believe it unlikely that
Hund shared the Spennato payment with the others and find that
Cattalo and Grove derived no income from the Spennato payment.
John Kaminski/Robert Rossi Search
On March 11, 1983, Hund, observed by Grove and Wilson,
conducted an undercover purchase of 3 ounces of cocaine at the
price of $6,300 from John Kaminski (Kaminski) in the parking lot
of a Friendly Restaurant. Ryan and Cattalo also were present.
Kaminski was arrested. Robert Rossi (Rossi), who was observed
delivering a brown paper bag to Kaminski, was arrested inside the
adjacent Ground Round Restaurant. A search of Rossi's apartment
was conducted. Hund and Grove found money and cocaine there.
They appropriated some of the cocaine and took it to Karasinski
to resell. Back at the unit, Grove or Hund distributed portions
