- 60 - the cocaine to Karasinski, who cut it and sold half of the resulting amount. Karasinski divided the proceeds with Hund and Grove. Respondent asserts that $3,000 cash was appropriated during the Baker search and divided up equally among Hund and petitioners. Respondent also asserts that Grove and Cattalo each received $300 from the proceeds of the sale of the drugs. Hund testified that the only money he recalled was that on Baker's person, which was returned, but he also testified that he received $200 to $250 from Grove on the way back to the unit from dropping off the cocaine at Karasinski's and that Grove said he had portions for Ryan, Cattalo, Wilson, and Giongo. Hund's testimony conflicted with his earlier testimony that did not include Giongo as receiving any money. Hund's testimony is also conflicting in that Giongo and Wilson did not know about or share in drug proceeds. Ryan testified that he later received several hundred dollars from the sale of the drugs, but he does not recall receiving any money that night. Grove and Cattalo were convicted of robbery, conspiracy, and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Wilson was convicted of aiding and abetting robbery and conspiracy. Based on the above, we allocate $600 each to Wilson, Cattalo, and Grove of the cash appropriated from Baker. Giongo was not present on the search. Given the questionable nature of Hund's testimony, the record does not support an allocation to Giongo.
