Description
ROBERTSON, Judge This is an appeal from a condemnation proceeding under the Alabama Uniform Controlled Substances Act. Richard E. Moynes (appellant) and Barbara Pike were arrested and charged with trafficking in cocaine on June 26, 1988. Seized
at the time of the arrest was $741 and $6600 in U.S. currency and a 1984 Chevrolet Corvette automobile. Forfeiture petitions
under Alabama Code 1975, § 20-2-93 (1984 Repl. Vol.), were filed on October 7, 1988, asking that the seized property
be forfeited to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department pursuant to the statute. Appellant's motion to dismiss was denied.
Following an ore tenus proceeding on May 4, 1989, the court awarded the property and currency to Jefferson County. Appellant
filed a motion to reconsider, and, following a hearing on that motion, the trial court ordered the $741 returned to appellant
and allowed the remainder of the condemnation order to stand. Appellant filed separate appeals regarding the condemnations
of the $6600 in U.S. currency and the automobile. Upon appellant's motion those appeals have been consolidated for appellate
review.
