Background and Discussion:
Kendrick Cole was the named respondent in OR#2405-05515.

HC District Attorney Office declined to accept the potential Ch 59 case for the money seized during the stop, as a result the funds deposited in escrow was sent back to HCSO in the sum of $7,308.83 (inclusive of interest earned). The amount seized needs to be returned to the respondent because of the rejected proceeding of HC DA Office.
