Syllabus

State's appeal. The trial court erred in granting appellee's motion to return money seized pursuant to a drug offense. Appellee was ordered to pay financial sanctions following his conviction in a separate murder case, and the clerk of courts issued a writ of execution against appellee's assets to satisfy that judgment. The State was entitled to keep the seized money pursuant to the writ of execution, without seeking forfeiture of the money in the drug offense case. Judgment reversed.
