confiscated from the premises; he did not mention Pontarelli in
the report.
Respondent asserts that Grove received $1,000 and Cattalo
$500 from the sale of drugs taken during the Bruno/Pontarelli
search. Those amounts are based on Hund's testimony that he
received $3,000 from Karasinski, of which he and Grove each kept
$1,000 and gave Ryan and Cattalo each $500. Ryan testified that
he and Cattalo each received several hundred dollars a month
later. With respect to those drugs, Grove was convicted of
possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and aiding and
abetting, and Cattalo was convicted of aiding and abetting. We
sustain respondent's assertions as to the amounts of the proceeds
of the drugs appropriated during the Bruno/Pontarelli search that
Grove and Cattalo received.
James Carr Search
On July 7, 1983, Ryan obtained a search warrant for the
residence of James Carr (Carr), using information supplied by
Hund. The search was conducted on that date by Ryan, Grove,
Hund, and Cattalo. Carr operated a variety/grocery store located
about 1-1/2 blocks from his residence. Carr kept the receipts
from his store in a safe on the third floor of his residence. At
the time of the search, the safe contained $18,505 in cash, food
stamps, and some personal items. Carr had the store receipts
from the early part of the day, about $700, on his person; that
money was returned to him. Carr was arrested.
