THE COURT:

All right. That's noted. Pursuant to a narcotics violation

MR. MARCELLO:

surveillance conducted by the officers targeting the above location, which was Barnum Avenue, police were directed to arrest several subjects who had participated in suspected narcotics sales. I'm going to have to read that other surveillance report, Mr. Forbes. Just give me a second. While at that location, police observed Summerville and another person walking to a door at the top of the stairs, walk into an apartment that was not occupied by a legal renter, walked into the kitchen which can be seen from the street as the door was open while they entered the kitchen while Summerville and the codefendant Graham came back out and police officer, units described all that were to be arrested. Police came to that location and advised the officer to come with him to the kitchen on the apartment that was open. Police observed there several plastic bags were on the counter which had a trace of white power that resembled crack cocaine. More bags were on the kitchen floor in the cabinet next to the door where the police officer last saw this defendant which was the area of control, which was in their area of control, and seized a plastic ba
